Review: Insights into molecular mechanisms of disease in neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation: unifying theories
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a group of disorders characterized by dystonia, parkinsonism and spasticity. Iron accumulates in the basal ganglia and may be accompanied by Lewy bodies, axonal swellings and hyperphosphorylated tau depending on NBIA subtype. Mutations in 10 genes have been associated with NBIA that include Ceruloplasmin (Cp) and ferritin light chain (FTL...

Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a rare set of inherited neurodegenerative disorders with abnormal accumulation of iron in basal ganglia. It is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder that is characterized by movement disorders, dystonia, dysarthria, Parkinsonism, intellectual disability, and spasticity. The age at onset varies from childhood to adulthood and...

متن کاملNeurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation.
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) describes a group of progressive extrapyramidal disorders with radiographic evidence of focal iron accumulation in the brain, usually in the basal ganglia. Patients previously diagnosed with Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome fall into this category. Mutations in the PANK2 gene account for the majority of NBIA cases and cause an autosomal recessive...
متن کاملNeurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation: update on pathogenic mechanisms
Perturbation of iron distribution is observed in many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, but the comprehension of the metal role in the development and progression of such disorders is still very limited. The combination of more powerful brain imaging techniques and faster genomic DNA sequencing procedures has allowed the description of a set of genetic ...
