Angelman syndrome and isovaleric acidemia: What is the link?

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2015
We report a toddler affected with Angelman syndrome and isovaleric acidemia (IVA). Such association was due to paternal uniparental isodisomy (UPD) of chromosome 15 in which the proband inherited two paternal copies of an IVA gene point mutation. As both

Dissociation of AGAT, GAMT and SLC6A8 in CNS: Relevance to creatine deficiency syndromes

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2010
AGAT and GAMT, the two enzymes of the creatine synthesis pathway, are well expressed within CNS, suggesting autonomous brain creatine synthesis. This contradicts SLC6A8 deficiency, which causes creatine deficiency despite CNS expression of AGAT and GAMT.

Evaluation of the CRISPR/Cas9 system as genome editing platform for the Mucopolysaccharidosis IV A using a strategy for induction of higher homologous recombination frequency

open access: yesUniversitas Scientiarum
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding for the hydrolase N-acetylgalactose-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS). GALNS deficiency leads to a progressive buildup of partially degraded chondroitin-

Plasma C24:0- and C26:0-lysophosphatidylcholines are reliable biomarkers for the diagnosis of peroxisomal β-oxidation disorders

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research
The gold-standard diagnostic test for peroxisomal disorders (PDs) is plasma concentration analysis of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). However, this method’s time-consuming nature and limitations in cases which present normal VLCFA levels ...
