Vitamin‐Responsive Disorders: From Molecular Basis to Clinical Presentation and Therapy
ABSTRACT Vitamin‐dependent cofactors are essential for numerous metabolic reactions, and defects affecting their uptake, conversion, utilisation, or regeneration constitute a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Although dietary vitamin intake is sufficient to sustain coenzyme synthesis in healthy individuals, it is insufficient

Folding defects leading to primary hyperoxaluria
Protein misfolding is becoming one of the main mechanisms underlying inherited enzymatic deficits. This review is focused on primary hyperoxalurias, a group of disorders of glyoxylate detoxification associated with massive calcium oxalate deposition ...

Renal function can be impaired in children with primary hyperoxaluria type 3 [PDF]
BACKGROUND Primary hyperoxaluria type 3 (PH3) is characterized by mutations in the 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate aldolase (HOGA1) gene. PH3 patients are believed to present with a less severe phenotype than those with PH1 and PH2, but the clinical ...

Traditionally, clinical outcomes measuring how a patient feels, functions, or survives are preferred endpoints in clinical trials; however, some may take a long time to manifest in slowly developing diseases. Biomarkers, if properly validated, can serve as surrogate endpoints, acting as substitutes for clinical outcomes.

A dynamic network biomarker (DNBs) linking the transformation from lung AIS to IAC. Key differential genes and pathways were identified, establishing MIA as the critical tipping point for transformation. Abstract Background Lung adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), characterised by ground‐glass nodules as observed in computed tomography imaging, generally ...
