Mutations of <jats:italic>TARDBP<\/jats:italic> gene, mainly in exon 6 hotspot, have been reported to be causative of some forms of ALS and FTD, with clinical signs of parkinsonism observed in few mutation carriers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Direct DNA sequencing of <jats:italic>TARDBP<\/jats:italic> exon 6 was performed in a large Italian cohort of 735 patients affected by PD (354 familial and 381 sporadic) and 142 affected by atypical parkinsonism, including 39 corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and 103 progressive sopranuclear palsy (PSP).

G294A, p.G295S, p.S393L) were identified in four patients with typical PD and in two individuals with atypical parkinsonism (1 CBS and 1 PSP). None of the detected mutations were found in healthy controls and only the variant p.N267S was previously described in association to idiopathic familial and sporadic PD and to CBS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study we provide further insight into the clinical phenotypic heterogeneity associated with <jats:italic>TARDBP<\/jats:italic> mutations, which expands beyond the classical ALS and FTD diseases to include also PD and atypical parkinsonism, although with a low mutational frequency, varying considerably in different Caucasian populations.
