Abstract excerpt
Common clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features in infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) and pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) have led to the hypothesis of an allelic relationship. With the discovery of the gene defect in PKAN, this can now be tested directly. The authors excluded linkage in one consanguineous INAD family by haplotype analysis. Moreover, sequencing in seven INAD...
