Description : Kufor-Rakeb syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive form of juvenile-onset atypical
Parkinson disease (PARK9) associated with supranuclear gaze palsy, spasticity, and
dementia. Some patients have neuroradiologic evidence of iron deposition in the basal
ganglia, indicating that the pathogenesis of PARK9 can be considered among the syndromes
of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA; see 234200) (summary by Bruggemann
et al., 2010). For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity
of Parkinson disease (PD), see 168600. For a phenotypic description and a discussion
of genetic heterogeneity of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN), see 256730.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ATPase type 13A2 gene (ATP13A2, 610513.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Cytoplasmic lamellar inclusions consistent with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (in
1 family studied);
