" /> Pick disease of brain - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Pick disease of brain;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Dementia with lobar atrophy and neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions; Lobar atrophy of brain;

Description : Pick disease refers to the neuropathologic finding of 'Pick bodies,' which are argyrophilic, intraneuronal inclusions, and 'Pick cells,' which are enlarged neurons. The clinical correlates of Pick disease of brain include those of frontotemporal dementia, which encompass the behavioral variant of FTD, semantic dementia, and progressive nonfluent aphasia (summary by Piguet et al., 2011). Kertesz (2003) suggested the term 'Pick complex' to represent the overlapping syndromes of FTD, primary progressive aphasia (PPA), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), progressive supranuclear palsy (601104), and FTD with motor neuron disease. He noted that frontotemporal dementia may also be referred to as 'clinical Pick disease,' and that the term 'Pick disease' should be restricted to the pathologic finding of Pick bodies.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the microtubule-associated tau protein gene (MAPT, 157140.0011); Caused by mutation in the presenilin-1 gene (PSEN1, 104311.0027);

Prefixed ID : #172700;
