Article Synopsis
  • - Niemann-Pick Type-C (NPC) disease can lead to serious neuropsychiatric issues, including catatonia, which doesn't always respond well to standard treatments like antipsychotics.
  • - A patient with adult-type NPC developed catatonia that persisted despite various medications, but improved significantly with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
  • - Combining ECT with lorazepam managed the catatonia, and adding lamotrigine led to full remission for eight months, suggesting lamotrigine's potential benefits in treating recurrent catatonia.

In this case, a 46-year-old male patient with a C19orf12 mutation experienced depressive complaints before movement disorders, followed by cognitive deficits and psychotic symptoms as the disease progressed.

Dissecting biological pathways highlighted by Mendelian gene discovery has provided critical insights into the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and neurodegeneration. This approach ultimately catalyzes the identification of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Here, we identify as a new gene implicated in PD and childhood neurodegeneration.
