Clinical phenotypic heterogeneity of Alzheimer's disease associated with mutations of the presenilin-1 gene.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The epidemiology of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) remains to be defined. We present here the first population-based incidence study and report the clinical spectrum and antibody profile of PNS in a large area in Northeastern Italy. METHODS:We performed a 9-year (2009-2017) population-based epi...
