Abstract

The condition originally called Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome is a collection of related disorders involving abnormal iron accumulation in the basal ganglia, usually manifesting with a movement disorder. To date, mutations in the following genes have been associated with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) phenotypes: PANK2, PLA2G6, FA2H, ATP13A2, C2orf37, CP, and FTL. This collection, now classified under the umbrella term NBIA, continues to evolve as new genes and associated phenotypes are recognized. As this body of information continues to grow, better approaches to diagnosis and treatment have become available. Continued investigations of the underlying pathogenesis of disease, with a focus on lipid, iron, and energy metabolism, will lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Fatty acid hydroxylase-associated neurodegeneration leads to iron accumulation in the globus pallidus, with the substantia nigra possibly less affected.

  • In other rare genetic diseases of the neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation group, mutations disrupt proteins with cellular functions different from iron metabolism, and the mechanisms that result in brain iron overload are undefined.

    “In other rare genetic diseases of this group, such as pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration, phospholipase A2G6-associated neurodegeneration, and Kufor-Rakeb disease, mutations disrupt proteins with cellular functions different from iron metabolism, and the mechanisms that result in brain iron overload are undefined.169–173”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
