Abstract excerpt
β-Propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN) is a rare X-linked dominant disease, one of several conditions that manifest with neurodegeneration and brain iron accumulation. Mutations in the WD repeat domain 45 (WDR45) gene encoding WIPI4 lead to loss of function in BPAN but the cellular mechanisms of how these trigger pathology are unclear. The prevailing view in the literature is that BPAN is simply...
