MAPT and Cognitive impairment: In addition to rare combined or “mixed” MSA, there is a broad spectrum of atypical MSA variants, such as those with a different age at onset and disease duration, “minimal change” or prodromal forms, MSA variants with Lewy body disease or severe hippocampal pathology, rare forms with an unusual tau pathology or spinal myoclonus, an increasing number of MSA cases with cognitive impairment/dementia, rare familial forms, and questionable conjugal MSA.
