Neuroferritinopathy is a rare, late-onset, dominantly inherited movement disorder caused by mutations in L-ferritin gene. It is characterized by iron and ferritin aggregate accumulation in brain, normal or low serum ferritin levels and high variable clinical feature. To date, nine causative mutations have been identified and eight of them are frameshift mutations determined by nucleotide(s) ins...
It is now increasingly appreciated that glial cells play a critical role in the regulation of iron homeostasis. Impairment of these properties might lead to dysfunction of iron metabolism and neurodegeneration of neurons. We have previously shown that dysfunction of glia could cause iron deposit and enhance iron-induced degeneration of dopamine (DA) neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD). There al...
Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome is a disorder characterized by dystonia, parkinsonism, and iron accumulation in the brain. The disease is caused by mutations in gene encoding pantothenate kinase 2 (PANK2) and patients have pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration. We present an 8-year-old boy with progressive muscle dystonia, neuroregression, frequent fall and multiple injury marks of diffe...
Introduction. Pantothenate-kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a rare genetic disease and a form of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). It most commonly begins in the first two decades of life but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients at any age with an atypical progressive extrapyramidal disorder and cognitive impairment. Few late-adult cas...
Phospholipase A2 associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) is a major phenotype of autosomal recessive Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA). We describe the clinical phenotypes, neuroimaging features and PLA2G6 mutations in 5 children, of whom 4 presented with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD). One other patient was diagnosed with the onset of PLAN in childhood, and our report h...
Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration: a new X-linked dominant disorder with brain iron accumulation Susan J. Hayflick, Michael C. Kruer, Allison Gregory, Tobias B. Haack, Manju A. Kurian, Henry H. Houlden, James Anderson, Nathalie Boddaert, Lynn Sanford, Sami I. Harik, Vasuki H. Dandu, Nardo Nardocci, Giovanna Zorzi, Todd Dunaway, Mark Tarnopolsky, Steven Skinner, Kenton R. Holde...
We report a healthy adult male, who underwent, as a control subject, part of a Huntington's disease study, extensive testing during three visits in a two year follow-up, including clinical examination and 3.0 T MRI scans. The T2-weighted MRI sequences revealed the "eye-of-the-tiger-sign". No clinical abnormalities in either motor, cognitive or behavioural domains were observed. PKAN2 and FTL ge...
Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN) is the most recently identified subtype of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA), being unique with respect to the underlying disease genetics, the associated clinical presentation, and the suggested pathomechanism. Mutations in X-chromosomal WDR45 arise de novo; however, the dominant pattern of inheritance is unusual fo...
PURPOSE To investigate spatial distribution of iron accumulation in the globus pallidus (GP) in patients with Hallevorden-Spatz syndrome (HSS) using phase imaging. We compared sensitivity of a phase imaging technique to relaxation rate measurement methods (R1,R2,R2*) for iron quantification. MATERIALS AND METHODS R1, R2, and R2* were measured in GP structure of the brain of eight pantothenate...
Brain iron is tightly regulated by a multitude of proteins to ensure homeostasis. Iron dyshomeostasis has become a molecular signature associated with aging which is accompanied by progressive decline in cognitive processes. A common theme in neurodegenerative diseases where age is the major risk factor, iron dyshomeostasis coincides with neuroinflammation, abnormal protein aggregation, neurode...
