ABSTRACT Objective Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects 1 in 36 individuals in the United States and is characterized by impaired social communication and restrictive/repetitive behaviors. Individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) have a high incidence of ASD (40%) and exhibit congenital brain lesions (tubers), offering a unique lesion‐based ...

Inborn errors of copper metabolism [PDF]
Two copper-transporting ATPases are essential for mammalian copper homeostasis: ATP7A, which mediates copper uptake in the gastrointestinal tract and copper delivery to the brain, and ATP7B, which mediates copper excretion by the liver into bile. Mutations in ATP7A may cause three distinct X-linked conditions in infants, children, or adolescents ...

Role of caspases, calpain and cdk5 in ammonia-induced cell death in developing brain cells
Hyperammonemia in neonates and infants causes irreversible damages in the developing CNS due to brain cell loss. Elucidating the mechanisms triggering ammonia-induced cell death in CNS is necessary for the development of neuroprotective strategies.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial volume and function in uraemic patients using four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D auto LAQ) technology. Methods Thirty‐four undialysed uraemic patients (U‐ND group), 60 dialysed uraemic patients (U‐D group), and 32 healthy volunteers (N group) were enrolled

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Neonatal Screening for Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Deficiency—Insights and Unexpected Challenges
With the implementation of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), neonatal screening for medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCADD) has been introduced in many screening programs worldwide. Together with phenylketonuria, MCADD is the disorder most frequently
