Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 3OMIM Phenotype
Preferred Label : Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 3;
Symbol : NBIA3;
CISMeF acronym : NBIA3;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Basal ganglia disease, adult-onset; NEUROFERRITINOPATHY;
Description : Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation is a genetically heterogeneous disorder
characterized by progressive iron accumulation in the basal ganglia and other regions
of the brain, resulting in extrapyramidal movements, such as parkinsonism and dystonia.
Age at onset, cognitive involvement, and mode of inheritance is variable (review by
Gregory et al., 2009).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
