NOTCH2NLCGGC repeat expansions were recently identified in neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID); however, it remains unclear whether they occur in other neurodegenerative disorders. This study aimed to investigate the role of intermediate-lengthNOTCH2NLCGGC repeat expansions in Parkinson disease (PD). We screened for GGC repeat expansions in a cohort of 1,011 PD patients and identified 11 patients with intermediate-length repeat expansions ranging from 41 to 52 repeats, with no repeat expansions in 1,134 controls. Skin biopsy revealed phospho-alpha-synuclein deposition, confirming the PD diagnosis in 2 patients harboring intermediate-length repeat expansions instead of NIID or essential tremor. Fibroblasts from PD patients harboring intermediate-length repeat expansions revealedNOTCH2NLCupregulation and autophagic dysfunction. Our results suggest that intermediate-length repeat expansions inNOTCH2NLCare potentially associated with PD. ANN NEUROL 2020
