Neuro-acanthocytosis (NA), an umbrella term for a group of rare diseases characterized by misshapen erythrocytes (acanthocytes) and neuronal multisystem pathology. Clinical features include choreatic movement disorder, psychiatric manifestations and cognitive decline, and additional features including myopathy, axonal neuropathy and seizures.
