Abstract excerpt
Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD; OMIM #no. 256600) is an inherited degenerative nervous system disorder characterized by nerve abnormalities in brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. About 85% of INAD patients carry mutations in the PLA2G6 gene that encodes for a Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (VIA iPLA(2)), but how these mutations lead to disease is unknown. Besides regulating phospholipid...
