Inborn errors of metabolism: a clinical overview [PDF]
CONTEXT: Inborn errors of metabolism cause hereditary metabolic diseases (HMD) and classically they result from the lack of activity of one or more specific enzymes or defects in the transportation of proteins.

Earwax: A potentially useful medium to identify inborn errors of metabolism?
Earwax was investigated as a source to identify patients' different inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). Acylcarnitines, amino acids, and guanidino metabolites were measured from 28 treated patients with 11 different metabolic disorders including 3 ...

Inborn Errors of Sulfur-Containing Amino Acid Metabolism [PDF]
Two superimposed metabolic sequences, transsulfuration and the methionine/homocysteine cycle, form the pathway for methionine metabolism in mammalian liver. This combined pathway was formulated first to explain observations in subjects with homocystinuria caused by cystathionine synthase deficiency.

Clinical biological and genetic heterogeneity of the inborn errors of pulmonary surfactant metabolism [PDF]
Pulmonary surfactant is a multimolecular complex located at the air-water interface within the alveolus to which a range of physical (surface-active properties) and immune functions has been assigned. This complex consists of a surface-active lipid layer

Functional Assessment of Lipoyltransferase-1 Deficiency in Cells, Mice, and Humans
Summary: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) link metabolic defects to human phenotypes. Modern genomics has accelerated IEM discovery, but assessing the impact of genomic variants is still challenging.

Economics of tandem mass spectrometry screening of neonatal inherited disorders [PDF]
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of neonatal screening for phenylketonuria (PKU) and medium-chain acyl-coA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency using tandem mass spectrometry (tandem MS). Methods: A systematic review

Cystathionine beta synthase deficiency and brain edema associated with methionine excess under betaine supplementation: Four new cases and a review of the evidence. [PDF]
CBS deficient individuals undergoing betaine supplementation without sufficient dietary methionine restriction can develop severe hypermethioninemia and brain edema. Brain edema has also been observed in individuals with severe hypermethioninemia without

Cloning of Dimethylglycine Dehydrogenase and a New Human Inborn Error of Metabolism, Dimethylglycine Dehydrogenase Deficiency [PDF]
Dimethylglycine dehydrogenase (DMGDH) (E.C. number 1.5.99.2) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme involved in the metabolism of choline, converting dimethylglycine to sarcosine. Sarcosine is then transformed to glycine by sarcosine dehydrogenase (E.C. number
