Aceruloplasminemia (ACP) is a rare genetic disorder that manifests in adulthood due to mutations in the CP (ceruloplasmin) gene, causing iron accumulation and neurodegeneration. Clinically, ACP presents with a range of symptoms, including mild microcytic anemia, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, retinopathy, progressive neurological symptoms such as cerebellar ataxia, involuntary movements, parkinsonism, mood and behavior disorders, and cognitive impairment. We present the case of a 53-year-old female with a history of first-degree consanguinity and a sister with anemia.

Aceruloplasminemia is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder. Mutations in the ceruloplasmin gene cause depressed ferroxidase activity leading to iron accumulation. The clinical phenotype is highly variable: anemia, retinopathy, diabetes mellitus, psychiatric disorders, and neurological symptoms including parkinsonian disorders and dementia are the main features of this disease.

Ceruloplasmin (CP) is a multicopper oxidase and antioxidant that is mainly produced in the liver. CP not only plays a crucial role in the metabolic balance of copper and iron through its oxidase function but also exhibits antioxidant activity. In addition, CP is an acute-phase protein.

Background And Aim: Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) and Wilson's disease (WD) is considered the prototype of neurodegenerative disorders characterised by the overloading of iron and copper in the central nervous system. Growing evidence has unveiled the involvement of these metals in brain cortical neurotransmission. Aim of this study was to assess cortical excitability profile due to copper and iron overload.
