Early diagnosis and differentiation of the two are essential for predicting disease progression and formulating individualized treatment plans. However, current approaches remain challenging. This study aimed at determining the morphological, microstructural and iron-related changes in these patients’ brains using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods: We reviewed a kindred with ET and PD with “antecedent ET” recruited at our hospital in May 2023. The clinical characteristics, genetic testing and multimodal MRI data of 16 family members were collected. Multimodal MRI analysis included structural MRI, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tractography, and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM).Results: Two second-generation family members diagnosed PD had ET history before PD performance appeared, five third-generation family members were diagnosed with ET. Fifteen of the 16 cases had missense mutation in the EIF4G1 gene. Temporal and spatial features of morphology and iron deposition in different brain regions were heterogeneous. DTI showed that the cerebello-thalamo-motor cortical network was involved in both ET and PD cases, and the additional nigrostriatal-thalamo-motor cortical network was involved in PD cases.Conclusion: The combination of morphometric imaging, DTI and QSM could be used as an imaging biomarker for ET and PD diagnosis and could be an effective tool for longitudinal monitoring of disease progression and transformation.Keywords: magnetic resonance imaging, quantitative susceptibility mapping, diffusion tensor imaging, Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 1 |
