Research progress on ALSP caused by CSF1R gene mutations
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 3
Abstract
Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a clinically rare autosomal dominant genetic disease, and its specific pathogenesis is not yet clear. The colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor on the cell surface and mutations in the gene encoding it have been identified as potential pathogenic factors for ALSP. However, the specific mechanisms by which CSF1R gene mutations lead to the onset of ALSP are still unclear. After reviewing the mutation sites and pathogenic mechanisms of CSF1R in the pathogenesis of ALSP, CSF1R mutations have been shown to cause microglial dysfunction through mechanisms such as dominant-negative effects, loss of function, haploinsufficiency, and gain of function, thereby leading to the onset of ALSP. A deeper understanding of the causes of ALSP will help in exploring potential treatment methods.
