gene: NIT1 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: 5 unrelated families reported with recessively inherited cerebral small vessel disease had compound hetereozygous or homozygous variants in NIT1. 1 family (3 siblings) had p.(Ala68*) in trans with p.(Arg243Trp), the remaining 4 families (1 individual each) were all homozygous for p.(Arg243Trp).

Patients presented in mid-adulthood with progressive movement disorders (e.g. dystonia, chorea, bradykinesia and tremor, gait disturbance, dysarthria) and had abnormal brain MRI findings. 3 patients had non-lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. Metabolic analysis in urine confirmed loss of NIT1 enzymatic function.

Note p.(Arg243Trp) has 1 homozygote in gnomAD v4, but permitted due to later presentation in reported patients.
