Metabolic consequences of mitochondrial coenzyme A deficiency in patients with PANK2 mutations.
Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a rare, inborn error of metabolism characterized by iron accumulation in the basal ganglia and by the presence of dystonia, dysarthria, and retinal degeneration. Mutations in pantothenate kinase 2 (PANK2), the rate-limiting enzyme in mitochondrial coenzyme A biosynthesis, represent the most common genetic cause of this disorder. How mut...

15 صفحه اولCerebral haemodynamics in patients with glutaryl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency.
In glutaric aciduria type 1, glutaryl-coenzyme A and its derivatives are produced from intracerebral lysine and entrapped at high concentrations within the brain, where they interfere with energy metabolism. Biochemical toxicity is thought to trigger stroke-like striatal degeneration in susceptible children under 2 years of age. Here, we explore vascular derangements that might also contribute ...
متن کاملA Novel Nonsense mutation in PANK2 Gene in Two Patients with Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration
Pantothenate kinase- associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive extrapyramidal dysfunction and iron accumulation in the brain and axonal spheroids in the central nervous system. It has been shown that the disorder is caused by mutations in PANK2 gene which codes for a mitochondrial enzyme participating in coenzyme A biosynthe...
