Abstract
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 5 (NBIA5) is a distinctive type of NBIA phenotype that is caused by mutations in the WDR45 gene. This disorder is inherited in an X-linked manner. Here, we report three Iranian cases affected with this condition. Whole-exome sequencing revealed the following pathogenic variants within WDR45 gene in these cases, respectively: c.697 C > T (p.R233X), c.657_658del (p.F221X) and c.1004_1005del (p.Y335Cfs*5). Hypothyroidism was detected in two cases. Other clinical manifestations did not significantly differ from cases reported in the literature. All cases occurred de novo. Similar mutations have been reported in the literature. The present study broadens the insight about the genetics of this disorder in the mentioned population.
期刊介绍：
Neurogenetics publishes findings that contribute to a better understanding of the genetic basis of normal and abnormal function of the nervous system. Neurogenetic disorders are the main focus of the journal. Neurogenetics therefore includes findings in humans and other organisms that help understand neurological disease mechanisms and publishes papers from many different fields such as biophysics, cell biology, human genetics, neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neurology, neuropathology, neurosurgery and psychiatry.
All papers submitted to Neurogenetics should be of sufficient immediate importance to justify urgent publication. They should present new scientific results. Data merely confirming previously published findings are not acceptable.
