The vast Lake Baikal in Siberia is located in a region with a continental climate, implying pronounced seasonal temperature differences. Remarkably, reproducing during the extremely cold winters when the lake is covered by a thick ice layer is a common trait in Baikal's endemic littoral amphipods.

Restricting lysine normalizes toxic catabolites associated with ALDH7A1 deficiency in cells and mice
Lysine metabolism converges at α-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH7A1). Rare loss-of-function mutations in ALDH7A1 cause a toxic accumulation of lysine catabolites, including piperideine-6-carboxylate (P6C), that are thought to cause fatal seizures in children unless strictly managed with dietary lysine reduction.

Pyridoxine‐dependent epilepsy (PDE‐ALDH7A1) is a neurometabolic disorder in the lysine metabolism pathway. In 2014 and 2021, the International PDE consortium published consensus guidelines about diagnosis and management.

Pyridoxine responsive epilepsy caused by a novel homozygous PNPO mutation
We report a patient with anti-epileptic treatment refractory neonatal seizures responsive to pyridoxine. Biochemical analysis revealed normal markers for antiquitin deficiency and also mutation analysis of the ALDH7A1 (Antiquitin) gene was negative ...

Potential impact of primate‐specific SVA retrotransposons during the evolution of human cognitive function. [PDF]
The SVA family of hominid-specific non-LTR retrotransposon comprises the youngest group of transposable elements in the human genome. The propagation of the most ancient SVA subfamily took place about 13.5 million years ago, and the youngest SVA ...

Fetal Corpus Callosum Anomalies
Anomalies of the corpus callosum (CC) are amongst the most common fetal Central Nervous System (CNS) anomalies detectable on ultrasound. Underlying genetic disease plays an important part in defining prognosis. Associations with aneuploidy and submicroscopic chromosomal deletions or duplications have been well demonstrated using chromosomal microarray ...

Epilepsy due to PNPO mutations: genotype, environment and treatment affect presentation and outcome [PDF]
Mutations in PNPO are a known cause of neonatal onset seizures that are resistant to pyridoxine but responsive to pyridoxal phosphate (PLP). Mills etal. show that PNPO mutations can also cause neonatal onset seizures that respond to pyridoxine but worsen
