Abstract excerpt
The WDR45 gene encodes WIPI4, a protein that plays a crucial role in autophagy. Mutations in WDR45 lead to excessive iron deposition in the central nervous system, resulting in β-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN) which is characterized by progressive dystonia and Parkinsonism. In this study, we established an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a BPAN patient with WDR45 mutation....
