Recent observations identifying frame-shift mutations in the SLC30A10 gene in patients with the neurological conditions dystonia and Parkinsonism that lead to hypermanganesemia in brain regions [18] alongside rescue experiments performed in a yeast mutant demonstrating the ability of wild-type ZnT10 to restore growth in a Mn sensitive yeast mutant Δpmr1[20] indicate that ZnT10 may act as a Mn transporter. Here, SLC30A10 is linked to Dystonia.
