Abstract

Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease (APBD) is a rare inherited leukodystrophy associated with axonal polyneuropathy, mainly reported in persons of Ashkenazi-Jewish descent. We describe three Italian siblings at disease onset, presenting in their fifties with a combination of pyramidal and ataxic signs, mild demyelinating neuropathy on neurophysiological investigation (1/3 cases) and transient symptoms (1/3). A leucoencephalopathy with infratentorial lesions without enhancement and medullary/spine atrophy was demonstrated on brain/spine MRI (3/3). Muscle biopsy was normal in 2/3; both muscle and nerve biopsy showed polyglucosan bodies in the sibling with polyneuropathy. This indicated a need for GBE1 sequencing, which revealed a novel missense mutation (c.1064G
