[edit] Probably associated with chromosomal region 14q13

Read about it in the article on NPAS3. Quote:

Of the diseases localised to date to chromosome 14q13, only Fahr disease (idiopathic basal ganglia calcification) has been associated with neuropsychiatric problems. (PMID 10441584)

[edit] Proposed Merger

I didn't realize this page existed before I created the Fahr's disease article. I think a merger would be a good idea, though not in the current format. Fahr's disease and Fahr's syndrome are two seperate entities. As the articles currently stand, one would think they are interchangeable.

[edit] Commons image available

There's a commons image, Image:MD de Fahr1.jpg that's used in the, uh, Lëtzebuergesch Wikipedia at lb:Fahr-Kränkt. I'd go ahead and add it to the article, but I'd like to be sure that this is really an image of this syndrome. Does anyone speak Lëtzebuergesch? Or can anyone confirm that this is really an image of Fahr's? delldot on a public computer talk 11:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
