Inborn Errors of Metabolism in the Era of Untargeted Metabolomics and Lipidomics. [PDF]
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are a group of inherited diseases with variable incidences. IEMs are caused by disrupting enzyme activities in specific metabolic pathways by genetic mutations, either directly or indirectly by cofactor deficiencies ...

Management of methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) with N‐carbamylglutamate: A case report from Italy
We present the case report of a patient with frequently decompensated methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) who was successfully treated with carglumic acid (Carbaglu®, CA). The efficacy and safety of long‐term CA in the management of MMA have been confirmed in a prospective, randomized controlled trial and our report provides additional real‐world evidence on ...

Non-Enzymatic Formation of N-acetylated Amino Acid Conjugates in Urine
Unknown N-acylated amino acid (N-AAA) conjugates have been detected in maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) and other inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism behind the formation of urinary N-AAA conjugates.

CRISPR applications for Duchenne muscular dystrophy: From animal models to potential therapies
CRISPR‐Cas9 gene‐editing technology enables the rapid generation of animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research and has potential to be developed as CRISPR therapy for the long lasting genetic correction of causal mutations. Abstract CRISPR gene‐editing technology creates precise and permanent modifications to DNA.

The International Working Group on Neurotransmitter related Disorders (iNTD): A worldwide research project focused on primary and secondary neurotransmitter disorders [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that enable communication between the neurons in the synaptic cleft. Inborn errors of neurotransmitter biosynthesis, breakdown and transport are a group of very rare neurometabolic diseases ...

Reprograming of proteasomal degradation by branched chain amino acid metabolism
Using genetics and multi‐omics analyses in Caenorhabditis elegans, we identified adaptive regulation of the ubiquitin‐proteasome system (UPS) in response to defective branched chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism. Worms with impaired BCAA metabolism show slower turnover of a GFP‐based proteasome substrate, which is suppressed by loss‐of‐function of the ...

Cysteine restriction‐specific effects of sulfur amino acid restriction on lipid metabolism
The proposed mechanism of CR‐specific effects of SAAR on adipose metabolism. (1) Due to the lack of Cys in SAAR diets, it imposes both MR and CR. CR specifically results in decreased biosynthesis of the tripeptide glutathione. (2) Lower hepatic glutathione increases the abundance of the transcription factor Nrf2, which translocates to the nucleus and ...

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 ...
