Karin Tuschl, Philippa Mills and colleagues report mutations in the manganese (Mn) transporter gene SLC39A14in childhood-onset parkinsonism-dystonia. Using functional recapitulation, the authors also show that slc39A14 loss-of-function in zebrafish can lead to Mn dysregulation and locomotor impairment.
