Abstract

Recent studies highlight an over-representation of progressive supranuclear palsy, with atypical features, in South Asians. We offer additional insights, including an over-representation of PSP among Malaysian patients of Indian compared to other Asian ancestries. However, RBD symptoms, hallucinations, and early onset were not more frequent in Indians vs. Chinese.
