Genetics and pathology

  • This is usually caused by mutations in the C19orf12 gene
  • The SENDS variant is caused by mutations in the WDR45 gene on chromosome Xp
  • Most cases are sporadic
  • The onset is from childhood
  • They cause iron deposition in the basal ganglia
  • There is also widespread Lewy body pathology
