Determining factors of the cognitive outcome in early treated PKU: A study of 39 pediatric patients

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2019
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disorder of phenylalanine metabolism, characterized by a neurotoxic phenylalanine (Phe) accumulation, and treatable with a life-long Phe-restricted diet. Though early and continuously treated PKU (ETPKU) patients exhibit normal

Characterization of recombinant human lysosomal beta-hexosaminidases produced in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris

Universitas Scientiarum, 2016
β-hexosaminidases (Hex) are dimeric enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of glycolipids and glycans. They are formed by α- and/or β-subunits encoded byHEXA and HEXB genes, respectively.

Dietary Treatment from Birth to Pregnancy in a Woman with Methylmalonic Aciduria

Medicina, 2021
Methylmalonic aciduria is treated with a natural protein-restricted diet with adequate energy intake to sustain metabolic balance. Natural protein is a source of methylmalonic acid precursors, and intake is individually modified according to the severity

Next-generation metabolic screening: targeted and untargeted metabolomics for the diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism in individual patients

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2018
The implementation of whole-exome sequencing in clinical diagnostics has generated a need for functional evaluation of genetic variants. In the field of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), a diverse spectrum of targeted biochemical assays is employed to ...

Improvement in the production of the human recombinant enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (rhGALNS) in Escherichia coli using synthetic biology approaches

Scientific Reports, 2017
Previously, we demonstrated production of an active recombinant human N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (rhGALNS) enzyme in Escherichia coli as a potential therapeutic alternative for mucopolysaccharidosis IVA.

Increasing the spectrum of white matter diseases with tigroid pattern on MRI: glutaric aciduria type 1 – case report

BMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Most white matter diseases present on magnetic resonance imaging as focal or diffuse T2-hyperintensities. However, in a few of them, radially oriented stripes of low (relatively normal) signal intensity are observed within diffusely affected ...

Inborn errors of metabolism in the differential diagnosis of fatty liver disease.

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease across all age groups. Obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, are the primary causes that are closely linked with the development of NAFLD.

The Cost-Effectiveness of Expanding the UK Newborn Bloodspot Screening Programme to Include Five Additional Inborn Errors of Metabolism

International Journal of Neonatal Screening, 2020
Glutaric aciduria type 1, homocystinuria, isovaleric acidaemia, long-chain hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency and maple syrup urine disease are all inborn errors of metabolism that can be detected through newborn bloodspot screening.
