Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on neuroacanthocytosis diseases, specifically a patient presenting with hyperkinetic symptoms linked to genetic variants affecting erythrocyte deformability and acanthocyte presence in blood.
  • A comprehensive assessment was conducted using various methods, including ektacytometry, clinical evaluations, and genetic analysis to understand the patient's condition better and identify potential variants.
  • The findings indicated reduced erythrocyte deformability in the patient with neuroacanthocytosis and revealed a unique ektacytometry pattern that differentiates it from other forms of acanthocytosis.

Background: Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc; OMIM #200150) is a rare autosomal recessive condition with onset in early adulthood that is caused by mutations in the vacuolar protein sorting 13A (VPS13A) gene encoding chorein. Several diagnostic genomic DNA (gDNA) sequencing approaches are widely used. However, their limitations appear not to be acknowledged thoroughly enough.
