Core neuroacanthocytosis syndromes [DS:H00832] Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation [DS:H00833]
Description
Pantothenate kinase associated neurodegeneration (PKAN), also known as Hallervorden-Spatz disease, is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder associated with iron accumulation in the brain. Clinical features include extrapyramidal dysfunction, onset in childhood, and a relentlessly progressive course. Mutations in PANK2 gene encoding the mitochondrial pantothenate kinase have been found in patients.
