Automated Screening for Three Inborn Metabolic Disorders: A Pilot Study [PDF]

, 2006
Background: Inborn metabolic disorders (IMDs) form a large group of rare, but often serious, metabolic disorders. Aims: Our objective was to construct a decision tree, based on classification algorithm for the data on three metabolic disorders, enabling ...

Not So Rare: Errors of Metabolism during the Neonatal Period

, 2003
During the neonatal period, the diagnosis of an error of metabolism (EM) was once thought to portend a poor prognosis or lethality. Over the past two decades, the prognosis of many EMs has changed.

Infant mortality in Brazil attributable to inborn errors of metabolism associated with sudden death: a time-series study (2002–2014)

BMC Pediatrics, 2019
Background The literature suggests that 0.9 to 6% of infants who die unexpectedly may have had a metabolic disorder. At least 43 different inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) have been associated with sudden death (SUDI).

Diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of inborn errors of metabolism in 100,077 newborns from Jining city in China

BMC Pediatrics, 2018
Background Mandatory newborn screening for metabolic disorders has not been implemented in most parts of China. Newborn mortality and morbidity could be markedly reduced by early diagnosis and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM).

Evaluation of Genetic Causes of Cardiomyopathy in Childhood [PDF]

, 2015
Cardiomyopathy frequently has a genetic basis. In adults, mutations in genes encoding components of the sarcomere, cytoskeleton, or desmosome are frequent genetic causes of cardiomyopathy.

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A lyase: targeting and processing in peroxisomes and mitochondria

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A lyase (HL, E.C. 4.1.3.4) has a unique dual localization in both mitochondria and peroxisomes. Mitochondrial HL (~31.0 kDa) catalyzes the last step of ketogenesis; the function of peroxisomal HL (~33.5 kDa) is unknown.

Inborn Errors of Fructose Metabolism. What Can We Learn from Them? [PDF]

, 2017
Fructose is one of the main sweetening agents in the human diet and its ingestion is increasing globally. Dietary sugar has particular effects on those whose capacity to metabolize fructose is limited.

Integration of Genome-Wide SNP Data and Gene-Expression Profiles Reveals Six Novel Loci and Regulatory Mechanisms for Amino Acids and Acylcarnitines in Whole Blood. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2015
Profiling amino acids and acylcarnitines in whole blood spots is a powerful tool in the laboratory diagnosis of several inborn errors of metabolism. Emerging data suggests that altered blood levels of amino acids and acylcarnitines are also associated ...
