This variant GSS with codon 105 mutation has been found in four pedigrees, only in Japan up to the present, and the clinicopathological phenotype is summarized as follows: (1) onset at age 38-48, with a duration of 7-11 years, (2) prominent spastic paraparesis, associated with dementia and ataxia, (3) numerous amyloid plaques in the cerebral cortex, (4) amorphous PrP deposits with neuronal loss in the deep cortical layers, and (5) minor change of cerebellum.
