Neurology, 1998•AAN EnterprisesWe report the results of pathologic and biochemical studies in a patient with 6q-linked
autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP). Neuronal loss and gliosis were
restricted to the substantia nigra and the locus ceruleus. No Lewy bodies were found, but
neurofibrillary tangles and argyrophilic astrocytes were seen in the cerebral cortex and
brainstem nuclei. The later findings, which have not been reported previously in AR-JP,
suggest the pathologic heterogeneity of 6q-linked AR-JP.
