Information Theory Analysis of CTX Shows Consistent Clinical Presentation
ABSTRACT Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare, metabolic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in CYP27A1. The classic clinical presentation includes infantile‐onset chronic diarrhea, juvenile‐onset bilateral cataracts, with development of tendon xanthomas and progressive neurological dysfunction.

Heterozygous CYP27A1 gene mutation presenting with Achilles tendon xanthoma: a case report
Background Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder involving bile acid biosynthesis. Reduced mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme activity leads to abnormal lipid accumulation in various tissues, especially ...

ABSTRACT Liver transplantation (LTx) has become, over the years, an increasingly used therapeutic option in patients with inherited metabolic diseases (IMD). Initially performed for Tyrosinemia Type I and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, it now accounts as the second indication for pediatric transplants worldwide. The use of LTx has been extended

ABSTRACT Movement disorders are common in inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) and significantly impact quality of life. Unfortunately, they are often underrecognised by metabolic physicians. This study investigated whether a new screening tool improves recognition of movement disorders in IMD patients by non‐neurologists.

An elegant technology for ultrasensitive impedimetric and voltammetric determination of cholestanol based on a novel molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor [PDF]
In this work, a novel molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor (MIES) has been fabricated based on electropolymerization of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with gold-palladium alloy nanoparticles ...

ABSTRACT Rare diseases collectively affect millions of Americans, but less than 5% have approved treatments, and new drug development remains limited. For such diseases, drug repurposing may be an effective strategy to find new treatment options. In the rare genetic disorder community, drugs are frequently prescribed off‐label.
