ABSTRACT Many inborn errors of metabolism affect pathways involved in the synthesis of a metabolite that has an important biochemical or physiological function, and adverse effects of the disorder can be attributed to the lack of this metabolite. Thus, there is the opportunity for treatment by ‘product replacement’. One of the disorders in the pathways

ABSTRACT Bile acid synthesis defects (BASDs) comprise a group of rare, often severe, metabolic disorders. Bile acid replacement therapy decreases toxic bile acid intermediates production and improves biochemical profiles, potentially delaying or stabilizing disease progression.

Clinical and genetic characteristics of Chinese patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis
Background Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare inborn lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) gene with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. To date, only 19 CTX patients from 16 families have

A recently identified G to A mutation at the last nucleotide of exon 6 of the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP 27) in a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) was shown here to cause alternative pre-mRNA splicing of the gene.
