PSEN1 mutations are typically associated with early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease but also atypical extrapiramidal phenotypes have been described. We report the case of a patient with dystonia-parkinsonism and non-progressive cognitive impairment carrying a novel truncating PSEN1 variant. Cerebrospinal fluid and imaging biomarkers indicated th...
