The First Autopsy‐Proven Case of CSF1R ‐Related Leukoencephalopathy Harboring the p. Cys774Arg Mutation

We report the first autopsy-proven case of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R)-related leukoencephalopathy harboring the CSF1R mutation c.2320T>C (p.Cys774Arg). The patient, a man in his 40s, exhibited progressive neuropsychiatric symptoms with predominant frontal white matter lesions and corpus callosum atrophy. Neuropathological examination revealed frontal-predominant demyelination with a relatively low number of axonal spheroids compared with typical cases, as well as the absence of intracranial calcifications. In addition, prominent cerebral amyloid angiopathy was observed despite an APOE ε3/ε3 genotype. These findings expand the clinicopathological spectrum of CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy and highlight variability in pathological features associated with different CSF1R mutations.
