G = Germany; T = Thailand; I = Italy; A = Austria.
Confirmation of mutation by restriction endonuclease digestion (+ / − = gain / loss of cleavage site, respectively) or allele-specific PCR (ASP).
Early = EOD; late = late-onset dementia reported in first-degree relatives of the index patient; unknown = family history unknown or not informative; negative = family history negative for dementia.
Age at onset of dementia in index patient.
NA = No family material available for segregation analysis; ND = unknown or negative family history; + = cosegregation; − = no cosegregation of EOD with the mutation.
Mutation not described previously.
This mutation affects an evolutionarily-not-conserved residue, and it seems to be a nonpathogenic polymorphism.
This in-frame deletion seems to be a nonpathogenic polymorphism.
