Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN) is a rare, X-linked dominant neurodegenerative disease mainly characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, epilepsy in childhood and dystonia, parkinsonism, dementia in adulthood. BPAN is caused by variants in WD repeat domain 45(WDR45), which is characterized by iron accumulation in the basal ganglia, however, it may be...
