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 ...

Characterization of aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes in ovarian cancer tissues and sphere cultures [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Aldehyde dehydrogenases belong to a superfamily of detoxifying enzymes that protect cells from carcinogenic aldehydes. Of the superfamily, ALDH1A1 has gained most attention because current studies have shown that its expression is associated ...

Zika virus infection reprograms global transcription of host cells to allow sustained infection. [PDF]
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging virus causally linked to neurological disorders, including congenital microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. There are currently no targeted therapies for ZIKV infection.

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.

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.

Consanguinity and rare mutations outside of MCCC genes underlie nonspecific phenotypes of MCCD. [PDF]
Purpose3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (MCCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of leucine catabolism that has a highly variable clinical phenotype, ranging from acute metabolic acidosis to nonspecific symptoms such as developmental delay ...

Single-cell entropy for accurate estimation of differentiation potency from a cell's transcriptome [PDF]
The ability to quantify differentiation potential of single cells is a task of critical importance. Here we demonstrate, using over 7,000 single-cell RNA-Seq profiles, that differentiation potency of a single cell can be approximated by computing the ...
