Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: VAC14 is a component of a trimolecular complex that tightly regulates the level of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PI (3,5) P2]. VAC14 pathogenic variants cause prominent vacuolation of neurons in basal ganglia of patients with childhood-onset striatonigral degeneration (SNDC). METHODS: We identified two siblings with SNDC. Whole-exome sequencing was performed for genetic molecular analysis in...
