" /> Kufor-rakeb syndrome - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Kufor-rakeb syndrome;

Symbol : KRS;

CISMeF acronym : KRS; PARK9;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Pallidopyramidal degeneration with supranuclear upgaze paresis and dementia; PARK9; Parkinson disease 9, autosomal recessive, juvenile-onset; KRPPD;

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);

Prefixed ID : #606693;
