Dystonic opisthotonus: A "red flag" for neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation syndromes? [PDF]
Back arching was reported in one of the very first patients with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation syndrome (NBIAs) published in 1936. However, recent reports have mainly focused on the genetic and imaging aspects of these disorders, and the

PRTFDC1 Is a Genetic Modifier of HPRT-Deficiency in the Mouse [PDF]
Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND) is a severe X-linked neurological disorder caused by a deficiency of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT). In contrast, HPRT-deficiency in the mouse does not result in the profound phenotypes such as self-injurious ...

Adenylyl cyclase 2 expression and function in neurological diseases
Mutations and expression changes of adenylyl cyclase 2 (Adcy2), a CNS‐enriched enzyme that converts ATP to cAMP, are associated with several neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Abstract Adenylyl cyclases (Adcys) catalyze the formation of cAMP, a secondary messenger essential for cell survival and neurotransmission pathways in the CNS.

HPRT1 Deficiency Induces Alteration of Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism in the Brain [PDF]
Alterations in function of hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT), one of the major enzymes involved in purine nucleotide exchange, lead to overproduction of uric acid and produce various symptoms of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS). One of the
