Heterozygous nonsense variants in the ferritin heavy-chain gene FTH1 cause a neuroferritinopathy
3 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
Ferritin, the iron-storage protein, is composed of light- and heavy-chain subunits, encoded by FTL and FTH1, respectively. Heterozygous variants in FTL cause hereditary neuroferritinopathy, a type of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). Variants in FTH1 have not been previously associated with neurologic disease. We describe the clinical, neuroimaging, and neuropathology findings of five...
