Early onset familial Alzheimer disease (FAD) has been associated with mutations in three genes, of which presenilin 1 (PSEN1) mutations are the most frequent. We reported previously a variant form of FAD, due to deletion of exon 9 of PSEN1, with spastic paralysis and rigidity. We describe a novel PSEN1 mutation in a family of Japanese origin with six affected individuals of both genders in two generations. The disease is characterized by presenile dementia, which is preceded by spastic paraparesis and apraxia. This mutation, which is predicted to cause a missense substitution of serine for glycine, occurred at codon 266 in exon 8 of PSEN1. The mutation was not found in 200 controls and 200 sporadic AD patients. On this basis alone, it seems this mutation is pathogenic. Our findings provide a new clue to the etiology of the familial early onset dementia.
