Metabolomics to Improve the Diagnostic Efficiency of Inborn Errors of Metabolism

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Early diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM)—a large group of congenital disorders—is critical, given that many respond well to targeted therapy.

Determining factors of the cognitive outcome in early treated PKU: A study of 39 pediatric patients

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2019
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disorder of phenylalanine metabolism, characterized by a neurotoxic phenylalanine (Phe) accumulation, and treatable with a life-long Phe-restricted diet. Though early and continuously treated PKU (ETPKU) patients exhibit normal

Characterization of recombinant human lysosomal beta-hexosaminidases produced in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris

Universitas Scientiarum, 2016
β-hexosaminidases (Hex) are dimeric enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of glycolipids and glycans. They are formed by α- and/or β-subunits encoded byHEXA and HEXB genes, respectively.

Improvement in the production of the human recombinant enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (rhGALNS) in Escherichia coli using synthetic biology approaches

Scientific Reports, 2017
Previously, we demonstrated production of an active recombinant human N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (rhGALNS) enzyme in Escherichia coli as a potential therapeutic alternative for mucopolysaccharidosis IVA.

Dietary Treatment from Birth to Pregnancy in a Woman with Methylmalonic Aciduria

Medicina, 2021
Methylmalonic aciduria is treated with a natural protein-restricted diet with adequate energy intake to sustain metabolic balance. Natural protein is a source of methylmalonic acid precursors, and intake is individually modified according to the severity

Increasing the spectrum of white matter diseases with tigroid pattern on MRI: glutaric aciduria type 1 – case report

BMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Most white matter diseases present on magnetic resonance imaging as focal or diffuse T2-hyperintensities. However, in a few of them, radially oriented stripes of low (relatively normal) signal intensity are observed within diffusely affected ...

ALK1 controls hepatic vessel formation, angiodiversity, and angiocrine functions in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia of the liver

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic endothelial Alk1 signaling protects from development of vascular malformations while maintaining organ‐specific endothelial differentiation and angiocrine portmanteau of the names Wingless and Int‐1 signaling. Abstract Background and Aims In hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), severe liver vascular malformations are associated with ...

Hyperphenylalaninemias genotyping: Results of over 60 years of history in Lombardy, Italy

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, 2023
Background Hyperphenylalaninemias (HPA) are due to several gene mutations, of which the PAH gene is the most frequently involved. Prevalence and incidence of disease vary between populations, with genotype/phenotype correlations not always capable to ...

“Double Hit” Homozygous Mutations for Two Different Rare Inborn Errors of Metabolism: A Burden for Countries with High Prevalences of Consangineous Marriages

Journal of Pediatric Research, 2018
Inborn errors of metabolism comprise a broad range of genetic diseases of which most are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Although being rare, there is a significant increase in their rate especially in countries where consanguineous marriages

Novel MTO1 mutations associated with an intrafamilial phenotypic variability

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2023
Background Mitochondrial diseases are a group of rare inborn metabolic disorders with multi-systemic manifestations. MTO1 gene mutations are associated with MTO1 (Mitochondrial tRNA Translation Optimization 1) protein deficiency, a mitochondrial disorder,
