Angelman syndrome and isovaleric acidemia: What is the link?

Molecular 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

Zebrafish and CRISPR—A synergistic approach to decipher and cure human diseases

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Zebrafish, with high genetic homology to humans, serves as a powerful vertebrate model for disease modeling and drug discovery. Integration of CRISPR/Cas9 technology enables precise genome editing, facilitating the development of translational models for human diseases.

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

Neurobiology 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.

Metabolic and biochemical profiling reveals phenotypic heterogeneity in Zucker diabetic fatty rats

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Genetically uniform Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats spontaneously develop four distinct metabolic phenotypes despite identical housing and diet conditions. Each phenotype exhibits unique biomarker signatures encompassing glucose homeostasis, insulin secretion, polyol pathway activation, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, and neurotrophic ...

Over the edge: Empirical evidence for the cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection maintains that larger neonates and smaller birth canals confer a positive selective advantage until labor becomes obstructed and vaginal delivery is no longer possible, eliciting an abrupt reduction in fitness.

Evaluation of the PP6D5 Polymer as a Novel Non-Viral Vector in the Development of a CRISPR/nCas9-Based Gene Therapy for Tay–Sachs Disease

Pharmaceutics
Background/Objectives: Tay–Sachs disease (TSD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a deficiency in β-hexosaminidase A (HexA), which accumulates GM2 gangliosides, primarily in neurons.

Modern competency‐based teaching of human sexual development

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Embryology is an integral part of anatomy and a key subject in basic medical education. The development of the sexual tract, which is closely associated with the formation of the urinary tract and the organs of continence, is particularly complex and relevant for many medical disciplines.

Tacrolimus exposure during pregnancy in kidney and liver transplantation recipients: A comparison between whole blood and plasma concentration‐to‐dose ratios

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Tacrolimus monitoring is generally performed in whole blood (WB). Most (>85%) of circulating tacrolimus is bound to red blood cells. During pregnancy, WB monitoring might be suboptimal because of physiological changes including increased plasma volume and decreased haematocrit.

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

Universitas 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-
