A case of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy with novel ALDH7A1 mutation
Abstract Background Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive disease, usually associated with neonatal seizures, about 75% of the patients suffered from intellectual or developmental delay (IDD). Antiepileptic drugs are often difficult to control seizures or incomplete control, but pyridoxine administration can ...

The genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pyridoxine‐dependent epilepsy due to mutations in ALDH7A1 [PDF]
AbstractPyridoxine‐dependent epilepsy is a disorder associated with severe seizures that may be caused by deficient activity of α‐aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, encoded by the ALDH7A1 gene, with accumulation of α‐aminoadipic semialdehyde and piperideine‐6‐carboxylic acid.

Overall survival of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is doubled by Aldh7a1 deletion in the KPC mouse
Rationale: The activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase 7A1 (ALDH7A1), an enzyme that catalyzes the lipid peroxidation of fatty aldehydes was found to be upregulated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). ALDH7A1 knockdown significantly reduced tumor formation in PDAC. We raised a question how ALDH7A1 contributes to cancer progression.

An intriguing “silent” mutation and a founder effect in antiquitin (ALDH7A1)
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 ...

Two novel ALDH7A1 (antiquitin) splicing mutations associated with pyridoxine‐dependent seizures [PDF]
SummaryPyridoxine‐dependent seizures (PDS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder causing intractable seizures in neonates and infants. Patients are typically resistant to conventional anticonvulsants but respond well to the administration of pyridoxine.

The case of pyridoxine dependent epilepsy misdiagnosed as non-ketotic hyperglycinemia
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare but an important condition, since early diagnosis and treatment result in normal or near normal psychomotor development. It is caused by mutations in the Antiquitin (ALDH7A1) gene.

The genotypic spectrum of ALDH7A1 mutations resulting in pyridoxine dependent epilepsy: a common epileptic encephalopathy [PDF]
AbstractPyridoxine dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a treatable epileptic encephalopathy characterized by a positive response to pharmacologic doses of pyridoxine. Despite seizure control, at least 75% of individuals have intellectual disability and developmental delay. Current treatment paradigms have resulted in improved cognitive outcomes emphasizing the

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.
