Mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration (MPAN).

Abstract excerpt

Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a group of rare and devastating disorders characterized by iron deposition in the brain. Mutations in C19orf12 cause autosomal recessive inherited mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration (MPAN), which may account for up to 30% of NBIA cases. The C19orf12 gene product is an orphan mitochondrial membrane protein, and most mutations are...
