Neonates with acute liver failure have higher overall mortality but similar posttransplant outcomes as older infants

open access: yesLiver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Neonatal acute liver failure (ALF) carries a high mortality rate; however, little data exist on its peritransplant hospital course. This project aimed to identify factors associated with outcomes in neonates with ALF using large multicenter databases.

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.

INBORN ERRORS OF METABOLISM

open access: yesNutrition Reviews, 2009
Abstract Understanding metabolic disease can be difficult in its own right. Under stressful situations such as those involving a sick infant, it becomes much more difficult. This resource is a talk whose purpose is to provide a simple framework with which to expeditiously diagnose a sick child who has a metabolic disorder.

The neuropsychiatry of inborn errors of metabolism [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2013
AbstractA number of metabolic disorders that affect the central nervous system can present in childhood, adolescence or adulthood as a phenocopy of a major psychiatric syndrome such as psychosis, depression, anxiety or mania. An understanding and awareness of secondary syndromes in metabolic disorders is of great importance as it can lead to the early ...

Identification and Characterization of a Novel Biallelic SLC12A2 Variant Associated With Kilquist Syndrome (OMIM #619080)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the case of a child with multiple congenital anomalies, severe hypotonia, and profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Functional bioenergetic assessments showed no significant mitochondrial respiratory defects, and riboflavin (Rf) status evaluation excluded a deficiency in Rf transporters as a cause of hearing loss ...

Molecular characterization of phenylketonuria patients from the North Region of Brazil: State of Pará

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2023
Background Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disease resulting from a deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). Hyperphenylalaninemias (HPA) due to PAH deficiency are accompanied by a wide variety of clinical, biochemical ...

The incidence of portal vein thrombosis at liver transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The incidence of portal vein thrombosis was examined in 885 patients who received orthotopic liver transplantations for various end‐stage liver diseases between 1989 and 1990. The thrombosis was classified into four grades.

Case Series of Nizon‐Isidor Syndrome by Heterozygous Variants in MED12L With Further Evidence of Mitotic Instability in One Case With Diploid–Triploid Mosaicism

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nizon‐Isidor syndrome is a rare disorder caused by heterozygous variants in MED12L, with only eight documented cases in the literature. Here, we present three additional cases of this syndrome. Proband 1 was a 7‐year‐old female who presented with developmental delay, right‐leg hemihypertrophy, laryngeal cleft, esotropia, abnormal skin ...

Orotic Aciduria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Orotic acid is an intermediate found in the pathway for pyrimidine synthesis. The mitochondrial enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) catalyzes the production of orotic acid by the conversion of the compound dihydroorotate to orotic acid.

An OGT Missense Variant With Impaired Enzyme Activity in a Child With Severe Developmental Delay and Hepatoblastoma

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT O‐GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and its antagonist O‐GlcNAcase (OGA) regulate protein O‐GlcNAcylation, a highly conserved post‐translational modification involved in metabolic sensing. Pathogenic variants in the OGT gene cause an X‐linked congenital disorder of glycosylation (OGT‐CDG) presenting developmental delay, hypotonia, intellectual ...
