摘要: Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) comprises a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by progressive degeneration the central nervous system high basal ganglia deposition. The list identified causative genes for NBIA syndromes continues to expand includes one autosomal dominant, X-linked, number recessive forms. Mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration is recently described syndrome caused C19orf12 mutations. In this study, we report two consanguineous families homozygous p.Thr11Met mutation. Our patients presented at later age had more rapid disease progression, leading early death in two, than those previously reported. We conclude that mutation associated wide phenotypic heterogeneity, further research needed examine role related elucidate its protein function as well other factors may affect progression expression.
