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.

Nutrition 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]
Journal 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 ...

Molecular 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 ...

Dysmorphology of inborn errors of metabolism [PDF]
Molecular Cytogenetics, 2014 As we discover the molecular mechanism of disorders, eventually all dysmorphic syndromes will ultimately be considered biochemical defects. An overview on the recognition and classification of dysmorphic features will be provided. Categories of inborn errors of metabolism associated with dysmorphic manifestations will be discussed. For e.g.

Parkinsonism and inborn errors of metabolism
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2014 AbstractParkinsonism is a frequent neurological syndrome in adulthood but is very rare in childhood. Early forms of Parkinsonism have many distinctive features as compared to Parkinsonism in adults. In fact, rather than Parkinsonism, the general concept “hypokinetic‐rigid syndrome” (HRS) is more accurate in children.

The Challenge of Diagnosis and Indication for Treatment in Fabry Disease
Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2017 Fabry disease, caused by deficient alpha-galactosidase A lysosomal enzyme activity, remains challenging to health-care professionals. Laboratory diagnosis in males is carried out by determination of alpha-galactosidase A activity; for females, enzymatic ...
