The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Neuroferritinopathy is a recently recognized autosomal dominant disorder that results in abnormal aggregates of iron and ferritin in the brain due to a mutation in the ferritin light chain gene on chromosome 19q13.3. We present the clinical details of a patient with adult-onset generalized dystonia associated with this mutation. Neuroferritinopathy appears to be a rare disorder; hence, there is a need to report new cases to further our understanding of the clinical phenotype, diagnostic challenges, the course of the condition and imaging characteristics. © 2004 Movement Disorder Society.
