Green List (high evidence)

Complex form of HSP with some individuals having evidence NBIA. The presence of iron accumulation is quite variable and is typically more evident as the disease progresses or later onset.

PMID: 20853438 - individuals from two unrelated families with evidence of brain iron accumulation. Consanguity was reported in one family whilst the other was unknown. Y170X and R154C were reported in the two families - Both are present in gnomAD v4.1 but rare enough for AR condition.

PMID: 19068277 - unrelated individuals reported with iron accumulation on MRI and variants in FA2H
