aldh7a1 regulates eye and limb development in zebrafish. [PDF]
Uveal coloboma is a potentially blinding congenital ocular malformation caused by failure of the optic fissure to close during development. Although mutations in numerous genes have been described, these account for a minority of cases, complicating ...

ALDH7A1 Deficiency and Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy
Researchers at University College and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London, and other centers in the UK and Europe investigated the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) by measurement of urinary alpha ...

Utility and limitations of EEG in the diagnosis and management of ALDH7A1-related pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. A retrospective observational study [PDF]
PurposePyridoxine-dependent epilepsy due to ALDH7A1 variants (PDE-ALDH7A1) is a rare disorder, presenting typically with severe neonatal, epileptic encephalopathy. Early diagnosis is imperative to prevent uncontrolled seizures.

Clinical diagnosis, treatment, and ALDH7A1 mutations in pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy in three Chinese infants. [PDF]
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that causes seizures in neonates and infants. Mutations of the ALDH7A1 gene are now recognized as the molecular basis PDE and help to define this disease.

Genome-wide association study identifies ALDH7A1 as a novel susceptibility gene for osteoporosis. [PDF]
Osteoporosis is a major public health problem. It is mainly characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and/or low-trauma osteoporotic fractures (OF), both of which have strong genetic determination.

Characterization of the first knock-out aldh7a1 zebrafish model for pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. [PDF]
Pyridoxine dependent epilepsy (PDE) is caused by likely pathogenic variants in ALDH7A1 (PDE-ALDH7A1) and inherited autosomal recessively. Neurotoxic alpha-amino adipic semialdehyde (alpha-AASA), piperideine 6-carboxylate and pipecolic acid accumulate in ...

Genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (ALDH7A1 deficiency) [PDF]
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy was recently shown to be due to mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene, which encodes antiquitin, an enzyme that catalyses the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent dehydrogenation of l-alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde/L-Delta1-piperideine 6-carboxylate.

Biallelic pathogenic variants in ALDH7A1 are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE). ALDH7A1 encodes for the third enzyme of the lysine catabolism pathway.

ALDH7A1 Gene and Its Related Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy
AbstractDespite being classically reported as caused by mutations in solute carriers genes (SLC2A1), it has been recently shown that also mutations in ALDH7A1 can cause pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE). ALDH7A1 is a gene encoding for the antiquitin, an enzyme that catalyzes the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent dehydrogenation of L-α ...

An intriguing “silent” mutation and a founder effect in antiquitin (ALDH7A1) [PDF]
AbstractRecently, α‐aminoadipic semialdehyde (α‐AASA) dehydrogenase deficiency was shown to cause pyridoxine‐dependent epilepsy in a considerable number of patients. α‐AASA dehydrogenase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a neonatal‐onset epileptic encephalopathy in which seizures are resistant to antiepileptic drugs but ...
