Multiple System Atrophy With Predominant Striatonigral Degeneration and TAR DNA-Binding Protein of 43 kDa Pathology: An Unusual Variant of Multiple System Atrophy.

This report adds to the evidence that TDP-43 and α-synuclein colocalize in GCIs. Whether this coexistence contributes to the pathogenesis of a subset of MSA patients or is an age-related process is not known. More cases with these peculiar pathological hallmarks might help determine whether TDP-43 contributes to neurodegeneration in a subset of patients with MSA.
