Panthotenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration Has a Founder Mutation (c.215_216insa) in Indian Agrawal Patients.

TL;DR: The early‐onset classic form of panthotenate kinase‐associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a rare genetic disorder of brain iron deposition associated with mutations in the pantothenate kinases 2 gene and is the third neurological disease after megelencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts and calpainopathy with founder mutations inThe Agrawal community.
