Brain, Blood, and Iron: advances in the cell biology of neurodegeneration

描述（由申请人提供）：神经棘红细胞增多症（NA）和神经变性伴脑铁蓄积（NBIA）综合征是两组非常罕见的遗传性疾病，其特征为主要影响基底神经节的神经变性。临床、实验室和神经病理学特征提示细胞死亡的常见方法。拟议的会议将汇集来自各个领域的研究人员，这些领域可能会揭示这些疾病的病理生理学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The neuroacanthocytosis (NA) and neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) syndromes are two groups of very rare genetic disorders, characterized by neurodegeneration affecting primarily the basal ganglia. Clinical, laboratory and neuropathological features suggest common methods of cell death. The proposed meeting will bring together researchers from a variety of fields which are likely to shed light upon the pathophysiology of these disorders.
