“…23,29,39,40 A third of patients have neurological symptoms at diagnosis, 40 and 36% of those with PRF1 mutations have some CNS involvement. 23 Although there is an association of variations in PRF1 with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis, 41 very few patients with HLH have had neurological symptoms as the sole presenting feature, and consistent with the expected ascertainment and reporting bias, 29,30,32,39 all developed the diagnostic features of FHL2-HLH, with the exception of one individual who was diagnosed by brain histopathology but without identification of a mutation. 25,26,29,[31][32][33]36,42 The sisters reported herein are therefore the first individuals reported with neurodegeneration, biallelic pathogenic PRF1 mutations and no diagnostic features suggestive of FHL-HLH (Table 2).…”
