Abstract

:
Metal storage disorders (MSDs) are a set of rare inherited conditions with variable clinical pictures including neurological dysfunction. The objective of this study was, through a systematic review, to identify the prevalence of Parkinsonism in patients with MSDs in order to uncover novel pathways implemented in Parkinson’s disease. Human studies describing patients of any age with an MSD diagnosis were analysed. Foreign language publications as well as animal and cellular studies were excluded. Searches were conducted through PubMed and Ovid between April and September 2018. A total of 53 publications were identified including 43 case reports, nine cross-sectional studies, and one cohort study. The publication year ranged from 1981 to 2018. The most frequently identified MSDs were Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) with 11 papers describing Parkinsonism, Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) (7 papers), and Wilson’s disease (6 papers). The mean ages of onset of Parkinsonism for these MSDs were 33, 53, and 48 years old, respectively. The Parkinsonian features described in the PKAN and HH patients were invariably atypical while the majority (4/6) of the Wilson’s disease papers had a typical picture. This paper has highlighted a relationship between MSDs and Parkinsonism. However, due to the low-level evidence identified, further research is required to better define what the relationship is.

1. Introduction

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common and debilitating neurodegenerative disorder. First described in 1817 by James Parkinson, PD is a chronic condition distinguished by bradykinesia, rigidity, postural instability, and resting tremor often described as “pill-rolling.” The clinical features are due to the loss of dopaminergic neurones located in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra. Why these neurons are lost is poorly understood. However, numerous studies from animal models and familial cases of PD have identified that accumulation of cytoplasmic inclusions of alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) called Lewy bodies, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction may all play a pathogenic role in their destruction [1,2].
Despite multiple well-documented risk factors suggesting an environmental association such as well-water drinking, pesticide exposure, head injury, and rural living [3], only increased age carries sufficient statistical evidence to be causative [4]. Male gender and Caucasian ethnicity were reported to increase the risk of PD in research studies while tobacco smoking has been found to be protective. Therefore, the existence of other aetiological mechanisms not yet identified must be considered.
Parkinsonism is a clinical picture of a tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability most frequently caused by sporadic PD. However, it has been described in many other conditions. Parkinsonism can be associated with additional features such as dystonia, early autonomic dysfunction, a rapidly progressive disease course, or levodopa unresponsiveness [5]. In this instance, it is described as atypical Parkinsonism since it differs from the typical clinical picture seen in Parkinson’s disease.
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are a large collection of individually rare but collectively common inherited conditions [6]. They are a diverse set of conditions that occur as a result of a monogenic mutation resulting in a deficiency of an enzyme or cofactor [7]. Metal storage disorders are a large subset of these.
Studies have found that patients with PD have increased levels of iron accumulation in the basal ganglia compared with healthy controls [8]. Research has also been conducted into the potential toxic mechanisms of iron causing nigral cell death and leading to PD features in sporadic PD patients even though it remains unclear whether neuronal death is a direct result of iron accumulation or if the accumulation is a by-product of dopaminergic cell death [9].
This systematic review aims to identify whether there is a wider pathological link between PD and metal storage disorders by exploring published accounts of Parkinsonism in patients with a previously diagnosed metal storage disorder. Identifying other conditions that produce Parkinsonian-like clinical features may uncover novel pathological mechanisms that contribute to the development of PD. In addition, this paper will discuss whether the clinical features seen in the patients with metal storage disorders displaying Parkinsonism are of a typical picture seen in PD or if they are more similar to atypical Parkinsonism.

2. Materials and Methods

This systematic review was conducted by following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2009 guidance [10].

2.1. Search Terms

Systematic literature searches were conducted in the PubMed and Ovid SP databases including all published articles prior to the search date. The last search was completed on 6 September, 2018. The titles and abstracts were searched by combining two search terms (Term A and Term B). Term A was ‘Parkinson,’ ‘Parkinson’s,’ ‘Parkinsonism,’ or ‘Parkinsonian’ while Term B included each of the individual metal storage disorders. A list of metal storage disorders was collated from a relevant review article [11]. A full list of the search terms can be found in Appendix A.

2.2. Inclusion Criteria

Human studies of all designs were considered except review articles. Only publications describing patients with a definite genomic or biochemical diagnosis of a metal storage disorder were analysed. Publications reporting adults, children, and infants were all included since metal storage disorders and Parkinsonian features can present at any age. Cohorts from all nationalities and ethnic backgrounds were also included.

2.3. Exclusion Criteria

Animal and cellular model studies were excluded as well as autopsy reports. Papers describing PD patients with MSD associated gene mutations were also excluded unless they had a confirmed diagnosis of that disorder. Publications written in languages other than English, without whole text translations available, were excluded. Reviews and letters to editors were also excluded but the references examined to identify any potentially relevant references that the searches had omitted were accepted.

2.4. Selection Process

The publications acquired from the searches were screened in line with the selection criteria by reading the titles and abstracts to assess relevance. Afterward, full texts were sought for all papers eligible for inclusion. Two reviewers conducted this screening process to ensure adherence to selection criteria. Conflicts were resolved through discussion between the reviewers.

2.5. Data Extraction

The primary outcomes extracted from the publications were the type of study, the IEM affecting the patients reported in the study, and whether the patient had features of typical or atypical Parkinsonism. Patients were identified as possessing atypical Parkinsonism if there was evidence of early autonomic dysfunction, a rapidly progressive course, lack of asymmetrical features at onset, and a poor response to conventional levodopa therapy or a Parkinson-Plus syndrome, as per the definition in the introduction. Where available, the gender, age of onset of Parkinsonian features, smoking status, and ethnicity were recorded as secondary outcomes. A breakdown of the data collected from each individual paper including the clinical picture of the patients can be found in Table A1.

3. Results

In total, 967 publications were identified corresponding to 827 unique articles which underwent the screening process. Following the title and abstract review, 730 were excluded since they did not satisfy the inclusion criteria. Following full text screening, a further 53 records were excluded. Six additional relevant publications were identified from hand searching the reference lists of the reviews and letters identified in the searches. A total of 50 papers were included in this review. Figure 1 shows a PRISMA flowchart of the selection process. The final group of articles consisted of 40 (80.0%) case reports and series, nine (18.0%) cross-sectional studies, and one (2.0%) cohort study (Table 1). The year of publications ranged from 1981 to 2018 with three (6.0%) papers published before 1990, three (6.0%) papers published in the decade between 1991 to 2000, 12 (24.0%) papers published from 2001 to 2010, and 32 (64.0%) papers published in the current decade from 2011 to 2018 (Table 1).
Typical Parkinsonism was reported in 16 (32.0%) publications and atypical in 38 (76.0%) publications, which is shown in Table 2. Of these papers, four described subjects with both typical and atypical features. Additionally, 173 patients were reported to have Parkinsonism, 86 (49.7%) were male, and the average age of onset was 35 years old. The ratio of males to females observed was 0.99:1 (86 males to 87 females). The smoking status was not reported in any of the publications (Appendix B).
Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN), which is the most prevalent neurodegenerative brain iron accumulation (NBIA) disorder, was the most documented metal storage disorder and was reported in 11 papers. All of these publications described patients displaying features of atypical Parkinsonism. Three papers also described subjects with typical Parkinsonian features. Within the 85 PKAN patients reflected by these articles, the mean age of onset of Parkinsonism was 33 years old. The gender ratio was 1.36:1 with 49 males and 36 females described. PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) was another frequently identified NBIA with three publications identified. Typical parkinsonism features were described by two of these papers while the remaining publications reported atypical Parkinsonism. Other NBIAs identified beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN) with five publications (four with atypical Parkinsonism and one with typical features), Kufor-Rakeb Syndrome with five articles (all atypical, although one described patients with typical features), and mitochondrial-membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration (MPAN) (three papers describing atypical parkinsonism). In addition, three publications described atypical features in subjects with neuroferritinopathy and one paper described a patient with Aceruloplasminemia presenting with features of atypical Parkinsonism. An additional paper described a subject with atypical features who suffered from an unknown type of NBIA.
After PKAN and NBIAs, the next most reported metal storage disorders were Hereditary Haemochromatosis (HH) and Wilson’s disease. Seven articles were identified that reported patients with HH and four papers (57.1%) described typical Parkinsonism. In these publications, 14 subjects were described including 10 males and 4 females (a ratio of 2.5:1). The mean age of onset of Parkinsonism in these patients was calculated at 53 years of age. Parkinsonism in Wilson’s disease patients was reported in six papers in which four (66.6%) described typical features while the remaining two papers (33.3%) displayed atypical pictures. The mean age of onset in the patients described was 46 years of age and a gender ratio 0.75:1 (three males and six females).

4. Discussion

Parkinsonian presentation in patients with metal storage disorders is an area of growing interest. The number of publications identified in this study increases each decade. While only three articles were published earlier than 1990, between the years 2010 to 2018, 29 papers were identified. This demonstrates an increasing amount of research being conducted in this field and a growing appreciation for a possible correlation between Parkinsonism and metal storage disorders.
The family of neurodegenerative brain iron accumulation (NBIA) disorders includes Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN), Aceruloplasminemia, beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN), Kufor-Rakeb Syndrome, mitochondrial-membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration (MPAN), neuroferritinopathy, and PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PLAN). Articles discussing all of these disorders were identified by our searches and described patients displaying Parkinsonism. These all showed a similar phenotype with young average ages of onset of Parkinsonism ranging from 13 years old (Kufor-Rakeb syndrome) to 61 years old (neuroferritinopathy) and predominantly atypical Parkinsonian features. This reflects the similar pathologies across the NBIA family of disorders. In all NBIAs, increased deposition of iron in brain tissue is observed. It is unclear whether this deposition is the direct cause of neurodegeneration or if it is simply a marker of the degeneration occurring as a result of some other pathological mechanism. However, Parkinsonism as well as dystonia appears well documented across all NBIAs.
In line with our findings, PKAN is the most common NBIA accounting for roughly half of all cases [12]. In the 11 publications describing PKAN, all papers described patients with atypical features while three also described patients with typical Parkinsonism. The atypical features displayed in these patients were a poor levodopa response [13,14,15,16], a lack of asymmetrical features [15,17,18,19], or the presence of dystonia in addition to Parkinsonism [14,20,21,22] (Appendix B). In two publications, pyramidal signs were also observed [19,23]. Recent research has established that Lewy body pathology is not observed in PKAN, which may explain why atypical features of Parkinsonism are more commonly seen [24]. Historical reports of patients with PKAN have found α-synuclein inclusions in neurons [7,25]. However, Schneider et al. believe these patients may have been misdiagnosed since these reports were published before gene identification was available for diagnosing PKAN [24]. They describe a recent series of genetically confirmed PKAN patients in which all lacked any evidence of Lewy body pathology. This suggests a differing pathology is occurring in these patients. Our results showing a high prevalence of atypical Parkinsonism in PKAN sufferers supports this hypothesis. At the same time, the widespread presence of α-synuclein inclusions in the central nervous system (CNS) tissue of PLAN patients is well documented [26,27], which indicates a potential pathological link between PLAN and sporadic PD. The results from this review support this link with two of the three publications describing patients with PLAN due to features of typical Parkinsonism [28,29]. In the one paper describing atypical parkinsonism features in patients with PLAN, dystonia was present [30].
Hereditary haemochromatosis (HH) was also frequently identified in this systematic review. Four papers reported typical Parkinsonism [31,32,33,34] while atypical features were described in the remaining three papers. All papers were related to unresponsiveness to levodopa [35,36,37]. These reports of Parkinsonism and HH presenting concurrently indicate that research into iron accumulation in the CNS tissue of HH patients may clarify the pathological link between HH and PD. The pathological processes and brain regions involved in HH are not well understood. In particular, the location of iron accumulation in CNS tissue is poorly documented. Since Parkinson’s disease treatments were reported to be ineffective in these patients and an atypical picture was observed, it may be that a different area of the brain is affected. Further research is required in order to identify how and where the iron accumulation occurs in order to draw further conclusions from this result.
Six publications described Parkinsonism in Wilson’s disease. It is well established that copper deposition, as seen in Wilson’s disease patients, commonly has toxic effects in the brain, which leads to severe neurological features [38,39]. How copper causes neuronal death is not well understood even though it is generally accepted that the copper accumulates extracellularly and does not enter neurons [38]. Within this group, four publications described typical Parkinsonism in Wilson’s disease [40,41,42,43] and two described atypical parkinsonism [44,45]. Although Parkinsonism is a common feature of neurologic Wilson’s disease [38,39], there is no evidence to suggest that Wilson’s disease causes Lewy body pathology. Despite this, all of the Wilson’s Disease patients from this study displayed levodopa responsiveness. This included two patients with atypical parkinsonism where one had dystonia [44] and one had epilepsy [45]. As mitochondrial dysfunction plays a large role in the pathophysiology of PD [1,2], the extracellular accumulation of copper in the CNS may have the same effect on mitochondria within the neuron that it does within the hepatocytes. Despite the similarities in clinical features and the response to levodopa, these patients’ demographics differ significantly to those seen in the sporadic PD population, which is outlined by Rizek et al. [46]. The average age of onset of Parkinsonism in these Wilson’s disease patients was reported as 46 years old, which is considerably younger than in the sporadic PD population (mean age 65 years old). Furthermore, twice as many females as males were described as having Parkinsonism, which differs greatly to the ratio of 1.5 males per females seen in the sporadic PD population. However, since only nine patients were described, this is not a large enough population to draw generalizable conclusions especially since the lack of α-synuclein pathology indicates the presence of a different pathological process.
Despite previous research establishing that cigarette smoking is protective for PD [4], the smoking status was not reported in any of the publications (Appendix B). Therefore, it was not possible to investigate this in the current study. It would be pertinent to include the smoking status in the patient demographics of all future publications describing PD or features of Parkinsonism.
The precise nature of the relationship between iron accumulation in patients with Parkinsonism is not clear. Autopsy studies were excluded from this review since they offered retrospective details of the clinical picture and the timelines were poorly outlined. However, they could yield some useful findings in patients with metal storage disorders. Post mortem brain studies on patients with NBIAs allows us to investigate the correlation between the quantity of iron and the severity of PD features. Should this confirm that iron accumulation in the brain leads to the development of Parkinsonism, it follows that treatments to reduce the CNS iron levels, or act as an iron chelator, could be developed as an early treatment for patients with sporadic PD in order to delay the Parkinsonian features.
An important factor to consider when interpreting these results is the level and quality of evidence available in the literature. The majority of the publications included were case reports and case series that the Oxford Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine considers level 4 evidence [47]. However, due to the rarity of these individual IEMs, this was the highest level of evidence available. Case reports can be subject to bias and, although no formal bias assessment was conducted, a more favourable response to levodopa or exaggeration of the severity of the features may have been reported. This was taken into consideration when evaluating articles for inclusion and any paper describing a response less than moderate to levodopa was classed as atypical.

5. Conclusions

In conclusion, the presence of Parkinsonism in metal storage disorders is an under reported topic. Establishing the relationships between these conditions may clarify the pathological mechanisms of Parkinsonism. Therefore, it is a field of growing interest with the number of publications describing patients with metal storage disorders displaying Parkinsonism growing substantially each decade. This review has demonstrated the following:
  • There is evidence of Parkinsonism coexisting with metal storage disorders in particular neurodegenerative brain iron accumulation disorders.
  • Patients with these metal storage disorders have an earlier age of onset of Parkinsonism than sporadic PD patients, which suggests additional underlying pathological processes are taking place. The ratio of males to females seen in many of these also differs significantly to the sporadic PD population, which further indicates a differing pathogenesis.
  • Future research must be conducted at a higher level than individual case reports to better assess the relationship between metal storage disorders and Parkinsonism. Cohort studies or case control studies using large cohorts will lead to a reliable dataset. At the same time, research in sporadic PD patients will identify whether any of the pathological mutations or processes are involved in the disorders discussed in relation to the development of Parkinsonism.
  • Smoking status and ethnicity should be documented in all future studies of Parkinsonism since Caucasian ethnicity is a large risk factor in sporadic PD while cigarette smoking appears to be protective. Recording these demographics will allow for the investigation of their presence in patients with metal storage disorders.
