Article Abstract
Background: PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) can be categorized into infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD), atypical neuroaxonal dystrophy (aNAD), neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA), and early-onset parkinsonism (EOP).
Objectives: To determine the genotype-phenotype association in PLAN.
Methods: "PLA2G6" or "PARK14" or "phospholipase A2 group VI" or "iPLA2β" were searched across MEDLINE from June 23, 1997, to March 1, 2023. A total of 391 patients were identified, and 340 patients of them were finally included in the assessment.
Results: The loss of function (LOF) mutation ratios were significantly different (p < 0.001), highest in INAD, followed by NBIA, aNAD, and EOP. Four ensemble scores (i.e., BayesDel, VARITY, ClinPred, and MetaRNN) were assessed to predict the deleteriousness of missense mutations and demonstrated significant differences (p < 0.001). Binary logistic regression analyses demonstrated that LOF mutations were independently associated with brain iron accumulation (p = 0.006) and ataxia (p = 0.025).
Conclusions: LOF or more deleterious missense mutations are more likely to promote the development of serious phenotype of PLAN, and LOF mutations are independently associated with brain iron accumulation and ataxia.

Objective: To measure and compare CSF cytokine concentrations among horses with equine neuroaxonal dystrophy (eNAD)/equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (EDM), horses with cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy (CVSM), and control horses and to evaluate for associations with clinical parameters.
Methods: Banked equine CSF samples from horses with neurologic disease that underwent a complete neurologic examination and postmortem diagnosis confirmation of CVSM or eNAD/EDM or from control horses were included. Cytokines were measured with an equine-specific cytokine/chemokine magnetic bead multiplex panel (23-cytokine multiplex).

Neurodegenerative disorders pose a significant public health problem. Among these, neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation syndrome (NBIA) is particularly challenging because even MRI imaging findings can be subtle. Understanding the genetic basis of NBIA is, therefore, crucial for early diagnosis.

Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) is an extremely rare neurodegenerative disorder affecting 1 in 1 000 000 children. The gene mutation is associated with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy. Symptoms typically begin between 6 and 18 months of age, leading to neurodegeneration, particularly impacting motor skills.

Atypical neuroaxonal dystrophy (ANAD) is a rare form of neurodegeneration linked to the PLA2G6 gene. Unlike classical infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD), it occurs later in childhood and seems less progressive. It appears phenotypically different from juvenile form of Parkinson disease linked to PLA2G6 (PARK14).

Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD), also known as -associated neurodegeneration (PLAN), is a rare, early-onset, autosomal recessively inherited neurodegenerative disease belonging to the group of neurodegenerations with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). The main cause of this disease is bi-allelic mutations in the gene, which codes for the enzyme phospholipase A2 type VI. Clinically, it manifests with progressive neurodevelopmental impairment, psychomotor regression, movement disorders, and pyramidal signs.
