A novel subtype of Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) recently has been described: mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration (MPAN), caused by mutations of c19orf12 gene. We present phenotypic data and results of screening of C19orf12 in five unrelated NBIA families. Our data led to identify novel pathogenic mutations in C19orf12.
