摘要：
We found novel variants in the open reading frame of the prion protein (PrP) gene in a family with Gerstmann-Straussler syndrome (GSS). Codon 219(Lys) variant is a normal polymorphism which we found recently. Some GSS cases were identified with codon 102 mutation (proline to leucine) and codon 219(Lys) polymorphism. While two families had a codon 102 mutation and codon 219(Lys) polymorphism in different alleles, 4 patients in one family had both in the same allele. The clinicopathological features of these 4 patients were clearly different from previously reported GSS patients with codon 102 mutation. These cases should be reported as a new variant of GSS.
