Abnormal Iron Homeostasis and Neurodegeneration

Abnormal iron metabolism is observed in many neurodegenerative diseases, however only two have shown dysregulation of brain iron homeostasis as the primary cause of neurodegeneration. Herein, we review one of these - hereditary ferritinopathy (HF) or neuroferritinopathy, which is an autosomal domina...
