Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) 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 ...
Clinical Description OMIM Najim Al-Din et al. (1994) reported 5 offspring of a consanguineous Jordanian couple with clinical features similar to those of idiopathic Parkinson disease and pallidopyramidal syndrome (PARK15; 260300). These included a mask-like face, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Rapidly progressive ...
Molecular genetics OMIM By mutation screening or linkage analysis, Ramirez et al. (2006) excluded known autosomal recessive Parkinson disease genes and loci from involvement in the phenotype in a large nonconsanguineous Chilean family. They found linkage to a 23-cM region bordered ...
