Anticipatory banking of samples enables diagnosis of adenylosuccinase deficiency following molecular autopsy in an infant with vacuolating leukoencephalopathy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 1, Page 234-237, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Adenylosuccinase deficiency is a rare inborn error of metabolism. We present a newborn who died at 52 days of age with clinical features suggestive of severe epileptic encephalopathy and leukodystrophy of unknown cause. Post‐mortem examination showed an unusual vacuolar appearance of the brain.

Subcutaneous vitamin B12 administration using a portable infusion pump in cobalamin-related remethylation disorders: a gentle and easy to use alternative to intramuscular injections

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2021
Background Cobalamin (cbl)-related remethylation disorders are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders comprising the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine and affecting multiple organ systems, most prominently the nervous system and the bone ...

Technical Study of Automated High-Throughput High-Sensitive Ceruloplasmin Assay on Dried Blood Spots—Reinstate the Potential Use for Newborn Screening of Wilson Disease

International Journal of Neonatal Screening, 2022
In this study, we modified a fully automatic immunoassay on ceruloplasmin concentration on dried blood spots (DBS) to increase its analytical sensitivity in order to accurately differentiate newborns from true Wilson disease (WD) patients.

Clinical overview on RASopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, Volume 190, Issue 4, Page 414-424, December 2022., 2022
Abstract RASopathies comprise a group of clinically overlapping developmental disorders caused by genetic variations affecting components or modulators of the RAS‐MAPK signaling cascade, which lead to dysregulation of signal flow through this pathway.

Two Novel Compound Heterozygous Mutations in the TRAPPC9 Gene Reveal a Connection of Non-syndromic Intellectual Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
IntroductionAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by deficits in communication, social interaction, and repetitive behavior. Up to 70% of ASD cases are linked with intellectual disability (ID).

Network effects lead to self-organization in metabolic cycles of self-repelling catalysts [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 128301 (2023), 2023
Mixtures of particles that interact through phoretic effects are known to aggregate if they belong to species that exhibit attractive self-interactions. We study self-organization in a model metabolic cycle composed of three species of catalytically-active particles that are chemotactic towards the chemicals that define their connectivity network.

Riboflavin Deficiency—Implications for General Human Health and Inborn Errors of Metabolism

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
As an essential vitamin, the role of riboflavin in human diet and health is increasingly being highlighted. Insufficient dietary intake of riboflavin is often reported in nutritional surveys and population studies, even in non-developing countries with ...

Pleural CD14+ monocytes/macrophages of healthy adolescents show a high expression of metallothionein family genes

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Modern surgical (technical) possibilities enable pleural macrophage isolation and analyses regardless the person`s age. Transcriptome profiling of macrophages from healthy or sick individuals revealed that these cells express high levels of metallothioneins, metal‐binding proteins that are involved in heavy metal detoxification, antioxidative defense ...
