“Double Hit” Homozygous Mutations for Two Different Rare Inborn Errors of Metabolism: A Burden for Countries with High Prevalences of Consangineous Marriages

Journal of Pediatric Research, 2018
Inborn errors of metabolism comprise a broad range of genetic diseases of which most are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Although being rare, there is a significant increase in their rate especially in countries where consanguineous marriages

Identification of the iduronate-2-sulfatase proteome in wild-type mouse brain

Heliyon, 2019
Iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) is a lysosomal enzyme involved in the metabolism of the glycosaminoglycans heparan (HS) and dermatan (DS) sulfate. Mutations on IDS gene produce mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II), characterized by the lysosomal accumulation of

A proposed nosology of inborn errors of metabolism

Genetics in Medicine, 2018
We propose a nosology for inborn errors of metabolism that builds on their recent redefinition. We established a strict definition of criteria to develop a self-consistent schema for inclusion of a disorder into the nosology.

Global birth prevalence and mortality from inborn errors of metabolism: a systematic analysis of the evidence

Journal of Global Health, 2018
Background Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a group of over 500 heterogeneous disorders resulting from a defect in functioning of an intermediate metabolic pathway.

Fatal pitfalls in newborn screening for mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP)/long-chain 3-Hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2018
Background Mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP) and long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency are long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders with particularly high morbidity and mortality.

Newborn Screening for SCID: Experience in Spain (Catalonia)

International Journal of Neonatal Screening, 2021
Newborn screening (NBS) for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) started in Catalonia in January-2017, being the first Spanish and European region to universally include this testing.

Phenylalanine and Tyrosine Metabolism Analysis in Heterozygotes for Phenylketonuria and in Healthy Individuals

Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2015
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited metabolic disorder derived from a deficiency in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, which converts the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe) into tyrosine (Tyr).

Next-generation metabolic screening: targeted and untargeted metabolomics for the diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism in individual patients

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2018
The implementation of whole-exome sequencing in clinical diagnostics has generated a need for functional evaluation of genetic variants. In the field of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), a diverse spectrum of targeted biochemical assays is employed to ...

Delivery and assessment of a CRISPR/nCas9-based genome editing system on in vitro models of mucopolysaccharidoses IVA assisted by magnetite-based nanoparticles

Scientific Reports, 2022
Mucopolysaccharidosis IV A (MPS IVA) is a lysosomal disorder caused by mutations in the GALNS gene. Consequently, the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) keratan sulfate and chondroitin 6-sulfate accumulate in the lysosomal lumen.

Foetal Haemoglobin as a Marker of Bone Marrow Suppression Secondary to Anti-Kell Alloimmunisation

International Journal of Neonatal Screening, 2023
Anti-Kell alloimmunisation is a potentially severe minor blood group type incompatibility, not only as a cause of haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn, but also due to the destruction of red blood cells (RBC) and mature form in the bone marrow ...
