Mutations in SRD5B1 (AKR1D1), the gene encoding Delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase, in hepatitis and liver failure in infancy [PDF]
Background: A substantial group of patients with cholestatic liver disease in infancy excrete, as the major urinary bile acids, the glycine and taurine conjugates of 7alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholenoic acid and 7alpha, 12alpha-dihydroxy-3- oxo-4-cholenoic ...

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.

Impaired biotin status in anticonvulsant therapy [PDF]
In 264 epileptics undergoing long-term therapy with anticonvulsants, significantly reduced plasma biotin levels were found compared with a normal control group: 74% of the epileptics had biotin levels for those treated with sodium valproate were higher ...

Amino acid metabolism and disease
4 p.The origin of life is still a matter of debate, and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain how the building blocks leading to the minimal cell were formed [1], with the amino acids among them. However, when considering their role, the first

Fibroblast-specific genome-scale modelling predicts an imbalance in amino acid metabolism in Refsum disease [PDF]
Refsum disease (RD) is an inborn error of metabolism that is characterised by a defect in peroxisomal α-oxidation of the branched-chain fatty acid phytanic acid.

Molecular basis and functional characterization of human 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency [PDF]
3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) deficiency is a rare disorder of leucine catabolism inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The phenotypic expression of the disease is highly variable, ranging from neonatal onset with severe neurological ...
