Adductor laryngeal breathing dystonia in NBIA treated with botulinum toxin-A
We report a rare case of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) presented with episodic inspiratory stridor. A 10-year-old boy presented with 3-year history of gradually progressive spastic gait and generalized dystonia (involving all four limbs, neck, jaw, and speech). MRI brain showed "Eye of Tiger" sign.

Complejidad de las bases genéticas de los trastornos NBIA [PDF]
[ES] Las ENACH o NBIA (Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation) comprenden un grupo heterogéneo de enfermedades hereditarias que suelen presentar depósitos de hierro en el cerebro, principalmente en los ganglios basales. Se trata de enfermedades raras con una prevalencia de 1/1.000.000.

When Pathways Converge: Iron, Lipid Peroxidation, and α-Synuclein in Ferroptosis-Driven Dopaminergic Neurodegeneration. [PDF]
Dopaminergic neurons are particularly susceptible to ferroptosis. Pacemaking activity–driven calcium (Ca2+) influx increases metabolic demand and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, promoting iron release from aconitase. Alpha‐synuclein (α‐syn) enhances iron uptake via transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) and exhibits ferrireductase activity, converting

Biallelic Variants in SLC27A3 Cause a Complex Form of Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation. [PDF]
Abstract Background Complex lipid metabolism is one of the main biological pathways disrupted in neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). SLC27A3 gene encodes for the very long‐chain acyl‐CoA synthetase 3, an acyl‐CoA ligase that activates long and very long‐chain fatty acids.

Patient-Derived Neurons Exhibit α-Synuclein Pathology and Previously Unrecognized Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Elevation in Mitochondrial Membrane Protein-Associated Neurodegeneration. [PDF]
Abstract Background Mitochondrial membrane protein–associated neurodegeneration (MPAN) from the neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) family is a rare neurodegenerative disease marked by α‐synuclein aggregation, brain iron accumulation, and midbrain dopaminergic neuron degeneration.

Clinical Evaluation of Three KRS Families and Cellular Analysis of Distinct ATP13A2 Mutations Reveal Different Levels of Iron Accumulation. [PDF]
Different ATP13A2 mutations associated with Kufor‐Rakeb Syndrome (KRS) result in varying levels of intracellular iron accumulation. Frameshift and deletion mutations lead to excessive iron accumulation and increased cell death, whereas missense mutations cause milder functional impairment, resulting in lower iron accumulation and reduced cellular ...

Addressing Behavioral and Psychiatric Symptoms in Dystonia: A Case Report of Fahr Disease. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Abnormal calcium deposits in areas of the brain that control movement, including basal ganglia and cerebellum, are the hallmark of Fahr's syndrome. This report highlights the importance of clinicians being vigilant regarding behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms when evaluating cases of dystonia.
