Familial variability of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis lacking typical biochemical findings

open access: yesJIMD Reports, 2021
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of bile acid synthesis caused by pathogenic variants in the CYP27A1 gene encoding the mitochondrial enzyme sterol 27‐hydroxylase.

Metabolic profiling in serum, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain of patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2021
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is caused by autosomal recessive loss-of-function mutations in CYP27A1, a gene encoding cytochrome p450 oxidase essential for bile acid synthesis, resulting in altered bile acid and lipid metabolism. Here, we aimed to

Nerve Ultrasound Detects Peripheral Nerve Enlargement in Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 1082-1088, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the CYP27A1 gene, resulting in cholestanol accumulation in various tissues, including peripheral nerves. Polyneuropathy is common but often under‐recognized in CTX.

Bile acid metabolism and sleep: Mechanistic interplay and clinical implications of the gut–liver–brain axis

open access: yesSleep Research, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 170-179, June 2026.
Abstract The bidirectional interplay between sleep and metabolic homeostasis is fundamental to physiological health. While the roles of glucose and lipid metabolism in sleep regulation have been extensively characterized, bile acids (BAs), which are traditionally viewed as digestive surfactants, are emerging as critical metabolic messengers with ...

Vitamin D and the promoter methylation of its metabolic pathway genes in association with the risk and prognosis of tuberculosis

open access: yesClinical Epigenetics, 2018
Background A variety of abnormalities in vitamin D metabolism have been reported in patients with active tuberculosis. However, intervention trials have produced inconsistent results.

Targeting Brain Cholesterol Homeostasis in Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.
Brain cholesterol homeostasis is tightly regulated and largely independent of peripheral cholesterol. This review proposes a unifying framework in which aging, sex, and related biological stressors, including hypercholesterolemia, neurodegeneration, inflammation, and oxidative stress, converge to disrupt cholesterol homeostasis in the brain ...

Biosynthesis of the regulatory oxysterol, 5-cholesten-3β,25-diol 3-sulfate, in hepatocytes

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2007
Cellular cholesterol homeostasis is maintained through coordinated regulation of cholesterol synthesis, degradation, and secretion. Nuclear receptors for oxygenated cholesterol derivatives (oxysterols) are known to play key roles in the regulation of ...

GLP‐1 agonists and the gut microbiome: A bidirectional relationship

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 5, Page 1309-1325, May 2026.
Abstract Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists have transformed the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, yet their interactions with the gut microbiome remain an emerging frontier in pharmacological and metabolic research.

Four novel CYP27A1 mutations in seven Italian patients with CTX

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disease, because of sterol 27-hydroxylase deficiency. Clinical manifestations of CTX are tendon xanthomas, juvenile cataracts, osteoporosis, diarrhoea and ...

Case Report and Current Literature Review of Adult Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis: Evaluation of Treatment Response Based on Gait Analysis Adult Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis

open access: yesHaseki Tıp Bülteni
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic disease caused by a mutation in the CYP27A1 gene and deficiency of the mitochondrial 27-sterol hydroxylase enzyme.
