<meta name="description" content="Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a type of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). The phenotypic spectrum of PKAN includes classic PKAN and atypical PKAN. Classic PKAN is characterized by early-childhood onset of progressive dystonia, dysarthria, rigidity, and choreoathetosis. Pigmentary retinal degeneration is common. Atypical PKAN is characterized by later onset (age &gt;10 years), prominent speech defects, psychiatric disturbances, and more gradual progression of disease.">

characteristics.</h4><p>Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a type of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). The phenotypic spectrum of PKAN includes classic PKAN and atypical PKAN. Classic PKAN is characterized by early-childhood onset of progressive dystonia, dysarthria, rigidity, and choreoathetosis. Pigmentary retinal degeneration is common. Atypical PKAN is characterized by later onset (age &#x0003e;10 years), prominent speech defects, psychiatric disturbances, and more gradual progression of disease.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of PKAN is established in a proband with the characteristic clinical features and the "eye of the tiger" sign identified on brain MRI (a central region of hyperintensity surrounded by a rim of hypointensity on coronal or transverse T<sub>2</sub>-weighted images of the globus pallidus). Identification of biallelic <i>PANK2</i> pathogenic variants on molecular genetic testing confirms the diagnosis.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Intramuscular botulinum toxin, ablative pallidotomy or thalmotomy, intrathecal or oral baclofen, oral trihexyphenidyl, deep brain stimulation, physical therapy and occupational therapy to maintain joint mobility, referral for adaptive aids (walker, wheelchair) for gait abnormalities, speech therapy and/or assistive communication devices, treatment for retinopathy by ophthalmology, referral to community resources: financial services, services for the blind, and educational programs.</p><p><i>Prevention of secondary complications:</i> Full-mouth dental extraction when severe orobuccolingual dystonia results in recurrent tongue biting; gastrostomy tube feeding as needed.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Evaluation for treatable causes of pain during episodes of extreme distress; monitoring of height and weight; routine ophthalmologic assessment; oral assessment for trauma, assessment of ambulation and speech abilities, feeding and nutrition assessment.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p>PKAN is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. At conception, each sib of an affected individual has a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected and not a carrier. Carrier testing for at-risk relatives, prenatal testing for a pregnancy at risk, and preimplantation genetic testing are possible if both pathogenic variants have been identified in an affected family member.</p></div></div><div id="pkan.GeneReview_Scope"><h2 id="_pkan_GeneReview_Scope_"><i>GeneReview</i> Scope</h2><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figpkanTc"><a href="/books/NBK1490/table/pkan.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img" rid-ob="figobpkanTc"><img class="small-thumb" src="/corehtml/pmc/css/bookshelf/2.26/img/table-icon.gif" alt="Table Icon" /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="pkan.Tc"><a href="/books/NBK1490/table/pkan.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobpkanTc">Table</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">Classic PKAN Atypical PKAN</p></div></div></div><div id="pkan.Diagnosis"><h2 id="_pkan_Diagnosis_">Diagnosis</h2><div id="pkan.Suggestive_Findings"><h3>Suggestive Findings</h3><p>Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) <b>should be suspected</b> in individuals with the following clinical, radiographic, and laboratory features and family history.</p><p>

In the index case reported by Kruer et al, the "eye of the tiger" sign identified on MRI images correlated to a region of rarefaction in the center of the globus pallidus interna, which was depleted of viable neurons. Iron, mainly as coarse granular hemosiderin deposits, was distributed in a perivascular pattern. In PKAN, axonal spheroids have been observed in the pallidonigral system as well as in the white and gray matter of the cerebrum [<a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.swaiman.2001.102" rid="pkan.REF.swaiman.2001.102">Swaiman 2001</a>]. The spheroids are not limited to those portions of the brain in which iron accumulates. A recent study identified apolipoprotein E enrichment in previously described, ubiquinated proteinaceous aggregates in the globus pallidus in individuals with PKAN, similar to lesions seen in individuals with infarcts involving this same region. This new finding suggests that tissue or cellular hypoxic/ischemic injury in the globus pallidus may underlie the pathogenesis of PKAN [<a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.woltjer.2015.289" rid="pkan.REF.woltjer.2015.289">Woltjer et al 2015</a>].</p></div></div><div id="pkan.Clinical_Characteristics"><h2 id="_pkan_Clinical_Characteristics_">Clinical Characteristics</h2><div id="pkan.Clinical_Description"><h3>Clinical Description</h3><div id="pkan.Classic_Pantothenate_KinaseAssociat"><h4>Classic Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration (PKAN)</h4><p>The clinical features of classic PKAN are remarkably homogeneous. It presents in early childhood, usually before age six years (mean age: 3.4 years). The most common presenting symptom is impaired gait resulting from a combination of lower-extremity dystonia and spasticity, as well as restricted visual fields in those children with retinopathy. Some children have developmental delay, which is primarily motor but occasionally global. Early histories of ADHD or toe-walking are also common. Visual symptoms may bring children with PKAN to medical attention.</p><p><b>Neurologic</b> signs and symptoms of classic PKAN are primarily extrapyramidal and include dystonia and dysarthria. Dystonia is always present and usually an early manifestation. Cranial dystonia and limb dystonia are frequent and may lead, respectively, to recurrent trauma to the tongue and to atraumatic long bone fracture from the combination of extreme bone stress and osteopenia. The resulting pain and distress can contribute to development of status dystonicus in a cycle that can be difficult to break.</p><p>Corticospinal tract involvement is common and includes spasticity, hyperreflexia, and extensor toe signs.</p><p>Seizures are rare.</p><p><b>Intellectual impairment</b> is a feature of PKAN, particularly in children with young onset. A study of 16 children and adults with PKAN showed varied cognitive expression as measured by standardized evaluation tools, with skills ranging from high average to markedly below average. Age of onset had a strong inverse correlation with intellectual impairment (i.e., earlier onset was associated with greater impairment) [<a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.freeman.2007.417" rid="pkan.REF.freeman.2007.417">Freeman et al 2007</a>]. However, children with classic disease retain cognitive abilities achieved and do not lose these skills in tandem with later motor function loss.</p><p><b>Retinal degeneration.</b> Pigmentary retinal degeneration occurs in two thirds of affected individuals with classic PKAN. Retinopathy occurs early in the disease, although it is not often recognized until a full diagnostic evaluation including electroretinogram (ERG) and visual field testing is performed. The retinal degeneration follows a typical clinical course, with nyctalopia (night blindness) followed by progressive loss of peripheral visual fields and sometimes eventual blindness. Funduscopic changes initially include a flecked retina and later progress to bone spicule formation, conspicuous choroidal vasculature, and "bull's-eye" annular maculopathy. Individuals with a normal ophthalmologic examination at the time of diagnosis generally do not develop retinopathy later.</p><p>Abnormal eye movements, including vertical saccades and saccadic pursuits, are common. In one study, eight of ten individuals with PKAN had sectoral iris paralysis and partial loss of the pupillary ruff consistent with bilateral Adie's pupil [<a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.egan.2005.267" rid="pkan.REF.egan.2005.267">Egan et al 2005</a>]. Optic atrophy is rarely seen in PKAN.</p><p><b>Prognosis.</b> PKAN is a progressive disorder. Lost skills are usually not regained. The rate of progression correlates with age at onset: those with early symptoms decline more rapidly. As the disease advances, dystonia and spasticity compromise the child's ability to ambulate; most of those with early-onset disease are wheelchair bound by the mid-teens, and some much earlier. PKAN progresses at a non-uniform rate. Affected individuals experience episodes of rapid deterioration, often lasting one to two months, interspersed with longer periods of stability. Common causes of stress and catabolism do not appear to correlate with periods of decline, a phenomenon for which no cause has been found.</p><p>Premature death does occur. However, with improvements in medical care, a greater number of affected individuals are living into adulthood. Orofacial dystonia can result in the secondary effects of swallowing difficulty and poor nutrition. Premature death is more likely related to these secondary effects (e.g., nutrition-related immunodeficiency, aspiration pneumonia) than to the primary neurodegenerative process. In rare cases death occurs during status dystonicus.</p></div><div id="pkan.Atypical_PKAN"><h4>Atypical PKAN</h4><p>The clinical features of atypical PKAN are more varied than those of classic PKAN. Onset is in the first three decades (mean age: 13.6 years). Progression of the atypical form is slower, and presenting features are distinct, usually involving speech as either the sole presenting feature or part of the constellation of findings. The speech defects include palilalia (repetition of words or phrases), tachylalia/tachylogia (rapid speech of words and/or phrases), and dysarthria (poor articulation, slurring).</p><p>Psychiatric symptoms including personality changes with impulsivity and violent outbursts, depression, and emotional lability are common in atypical PKAN. Affected individuals may also exhibit motor and verbal tics, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and, rarely, psychotic symptoms [<a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.del_vallel_pez.2011.260" rid="pkan.REF.del_vallel_pez.2011.260">del Valle-L&#x000f3;pez et al 2011</a>].</p><p>As with classic PKAN, cognitive impairment may occur in individuals with atypical PKAN, but additional investigations are needed. <a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.freeman.2007.417" rid="pkan.REF.freeman.2007.417">Freeman et al [2007]</a> found that later age of onset is correlated with less intellectual and adaptive behavior impairment.</p><p>Motor involvement is usually a later feature, although individuals with motor involvement often have been described as clumsy in childhood and adolescence. Spasticity, hyperreflexia, and other signs of corticospinal tract involvement are common and eventually limit ambulation.

Pantothenate kinase deficiency is thought to cause accumulation of N-pantothenoyl-cysteine and pantetheine, which may cause cell toxicity directly or via free radical damage as chelators of iron [<a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.yang.2000.371" rid="pkan.REF.yang.2000.371">Yang et al 2000</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.yoon.2000.97" rid="pkan.REF.yoon.2000.97">Yoon et al 2000</a>]. Deficient pantothenate kinase 2 is also predicted to result in coenzyme A (CoA) depletion and defective membrane biosynthesis in those tissues in which this is the major pantothenate kinase or in tissues with the greatest CoA demand.</p><p>Rod photoreceptors continually generate membranous discs; therefore, the retinopathy frequently observed in classic PKAN may be secondary to this deficit. The biochemical perturbations leading to clinical sequelae are still not completely understood and require further investigation.</p><p><b>Gene structure.</b>
<i>PANK2</i> encodes a 1.85-kb transcript that is derived from seven exons spanning just over 35 Mb of genomic DNA. Detailed sequence analysis reveals that <i>PANK2</i> is a member of a family of eukaryotic genes consisting of a group of six exons that encode homologous core proteins, preceded by a series of alternative initiating exons, some of which encode unique amino-terminal peptides. Alternative splicing, involving the use of alternate first exons, results in multiple transcripts encoding different isoforms. For a detailed summary of gene and protein information, see <a href="/books/NBK1490/?report=reader#pkan.molgen.TA">Table A</a>, <b>Gene</b>.</p><p><b>Pathogenic variants.</b> Aside from the three common <i>PANK2</i> pathogenic variants described in <a href="/books/NBK1490/table/pkan.T.selected_pank2_pathogenic_variant/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobpkanTselectedpank2pathogenicvariant">Table 3</a>, pathogenic variants are usually private to each family and vary in type.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figpkanTselectedpank2pathogenicvariant"><a href="/books/NBK1490/table/pkan.T.selected_pank2_pathogenic_variant/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table 3.

<i>PANK2</i> encodes a predicted 50.5-kd protein that is a functional pantothenate kinase [<a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.zhou.2001.345" rid="pkan.REF.zhou.2001.345">Zhou et al 2001</a>]. Pantothenate kinase is an essential regulatory enzyme in CoA biosynthesis, catalyzing the phosphorylation of pantothenate (vitamin B<sub>5</sub>), N-pantothenoyl-cysteine, and pantetheine. Pantothenate kinase is regulated by acyl-CoA levels in prokaryotes and by acetyl-CoA levels in eukaryotes.</p><p><b>Abnormal gene product.</b> Pathogenic variants can generally be categorized into null or missense alleles. Individuals who are homozygous for null alleles usually have classic disease. It is currently unknown if individuals with atypical PKAN have partial enzyme function. Interallelic complementation has been postulated for those who are compound heterozygous for pathogenic missense variants. Interallelic complementation results when pathogenic variants in domains that interact between protein subunits are able to restore partial function. This is theorized to be variant specific, with some variants precluding complementation. Hence, some compound heterozygotes for missense variants may present with classic disease while others have a more atypical course. A recent study of <i>PANK2</i> pathogenic variants in affected individuals confirmed that the most frequent <i>PANK2</i> pathogenic variant, p.Gly521Arg, leads to a protein that is misfolded and devoid of activity [<a class="bibr" href="#pkan.REF.zhang.2006.107" rid="pkan.REF.zhang.2006.107">Zhang et al 2006</a>]. However, nine other pathogenic variants were found to result in proteins having normal catalytic activity and regulatory function. The authors suggested that PANK2 protein may have additional functions that are not yet appreciated.</p></div></div><div id="pkan.Chapter_Notes"><h2 id="_pkan_Chapter_Notes_">Chapter Notes</h2><div id="pkan.Author_History"><h3>Author History</h3><p>Jason Coryell, MS; Oregon Health &#x00026; Science University (2004-2007) <br />Allison Gregory, MS, CGC (2004-present) <br />Susan J Hayflick, MD (2002-present)</p></div><div id="pkan.Revision_History"><h3>Revision History</h3><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>3 August 2017 (sw) Comprehensive update posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>31 January 2013 (me) Comprehensive update posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>23 March 2010 (me) Comprehensive update posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>9 January 2008 (sh) Revision: deletion/duplication analysis no longer available clinically</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>8 January 2007 (me) Comprehensive update posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>27 October 2004 (me) Comprehensive update posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>8 March 2003 (sh) Revision: Table 4; References</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>25 February 2003 (sh) Revision: Resources</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>13 August 2002 (me) Review posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>29 March 2002 (sh) Original submission</div></li></ul></div></div><div id="pkan.References"><h2 id="_pkan_References_">References</h2><div id="pkan.Literature_Cited"><h3>Literature Cited</h3><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="pkan.REF.chiapparini.2011.159">Chiapparini L, Savoiardo M, D&#x02019;Arrigo S, Reale C, Zorzi G, Zibordi F, Cordelli DM, Franzoni E, Garavaglia B, Nardocci N.
