Heterozygous APTX mutation associated with atypical multiple system atrophy-like phenotype: A case report

: We describe here a 73-year-old patient presenting with atypical MSA-P-like phenotype carrying a monoallelic p. W279X mutation in the APTX gene, which causes ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1 (AOA1) when in homozygous state. We hypothesize that rare monoallelic APTX variants could modulate MSA risk and phenotype.
