Screening Tool Improves Recognition of Movement Disorders by Internists and Paediatricians in Patients With Inherited Metabolic Diseases

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Movement disorders are common in inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) and significantly impact quality of life. Unfortunately, they are often underrecognised by metabolic physicians. This study investigated whether a new screening tool improves recognition of movement disorders in IMD patients by non‐neurologists.

Metachromatic Leucodystrophy: A Case Report

Journal of Karnali Academy of Health Sciences, 2021
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease, which is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme activity of Arylsulfatase A (ARSA). Deficiency of this enzyme results in intralysosomal storage of sphingolipid cerebroside

Phenotypic variation between siblings with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2019
Background Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare autosomal-recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the ARSA gene. While interventional trials often use untreated siblings as controls, the genotype-phenotype correlation is only ...

Genome Sequencing Uncovers Additional Findings in Phelan‐McDermid Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, Volume 198, Issue 7, Page 126-134, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Phelan‐McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a genetic condition caused by deletions of chromosome 22q13.3 or pathogenic variants in the SHANK3 gene. Neurologic features typically include intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, hypotonia, and absent speech, though there is considerable variability even among individuals with the same molecular

Arylsulfatase A pseudodeficiency incidence in Turkey

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2000
Pseudodeficiency (Pd) in arylsulfatase A (ASA) is a relatively frequent condition in healthy individuals. It produces a reduction in enzyme activity similar to that found in metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD). A variable incidence of the Pd allele
