Case Report: Early (Molecular) Diagnosis Is the Clue: Report on ALDH7A1 Deficiency in Newborns
The first-tier genetic testing for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) is now increasingly used in routine clinical practice. Antiquitin deficiency, also referred to as pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE-ALDH7A1), represents an inherited ...

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 Protects Against Ferroptosis by Generating Membrane NADH and Regulating FSP1 [PDF]
Ferroptosis is a form of cell death due to iron-induced lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) protects against this death by generating antioxidants, which requires nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form (NADH) as a cofactor.

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.

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.
