Beta-Propeller Protein-Associated Neurodegeneration

Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration is a rare genetic brain condition caused by changes in the WDR45 gene. It begins in childhood with developmental delay and seizures, followed in adolescence or adulthood by movement problems such as dystonia and parkinsonism, with iron building up in the brain. Care is supportive, focusing on seizures, movement symptoms and daily function.
