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.

Targeting AASS alleviates neurotoxicity and improves mitochondrial function in astrocyte models for pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy [PDF]
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare neurometabolic disorder of lysine catabolism caused by bi-allelic variants in ALDH7A1. This enzyme deficiency leads to accumulation of neurotoxic metabolites, pyridoxal-phosphate inactivation, and ...

Untargeted Metabolomics for Diagnosis, Monitoring, and Understanding the Pathophysiology of Inherited Metabolic Disorders. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) encompass a diverse and expanding group of rare diseases caused by genetic disruptions mainly in metabolic enzymes and transporters. Clinical diagnosis of IMDs presents significant challenges due to phenotypic heterogeneity, nonspecific symptoms, and the limited scope of current targeted biochemical assays ...

Diethylaminobenzaldehyde Is a Covalent, Irreversible Inactivator of ALDH7A1 [PDF]
There is growing interest in aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) because of their overexpression in cancer stem cells and the ability to mediate resistance to cancer drugs. Here, we report the first crystal structure of an aldehyde dehydrogenase complexed with the inhibitor 4-diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB).

A case of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy with novel ALDH7A1 mutations [PDF]
Abstract Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder typically presenting with neonatal seizures and is sometimes difficult to diagnose, because the clinical features mimic those of birth asphyxia. A Japanese newborn boy presented with pulmonary haemorrhage and convulsions on the day of birth.
