ABSTRACT Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and propionic acidemia (PA) are inherited metabolic disorders affecting valine and isoleucine catabolism. Long‐term therapy mainly involves dietary protein restriction. An amino acid mixture (AAM, medical food) free of the precursor amino acids is frequently used, especially when protein intake does not reach World

Rapid screening of MMACHC gene mutations by high‐resolution melting curve analysis
Background Cobalamin (cbl) C is a treatable rare hereditary disorder of cbl metabolism with autosomal recessive inheritance. It is the most common organic acidemia, manifested as methylmalonic academia combined with homocysteinemia.

ABSTRACT Undoubtedly the nutritional management of inborn errors of protein metabolism (IEPM) has improved since the early 1950s, but it is still associated with significant patient burden. The pace of development has not kept up with the increasing demands of the ‘real world’ or development in other areas of medicine. It is essential that research and

ABSTRACT Hyperammonemia is a medical emergency, and the cause must be identified quickly in order to treat appropriately. Malnutrition is a known risk factor for hyperammonemia; however, there are limited reliable lab indicators used to identify malnutrition.

Methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase enzyme (MCEE) is responsible for catalyzing the isomeric conversion between D- and L-methylmalonyl-CoA, an intermediate along the conversion of propionyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA.

Beyond the Surface: Novel Therapy Approach for Pancreatitis in the Setting of CFTR Dysfunction
Objectives Despite cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) proteins being present throughout the entire body and organ systems, typical presentation of cystic fibrosis (CF) involves lung disease. We report a series of individuals that were referred to our CF clinic for evaluation following a diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis or acute

Delivery strategies of messenger RNA therapeutics for brain disorders
Thus, mRNA therapeutics offer a powerful new avenue for the treatment of brain diseases. This review examines strategies to bypass biological barriers, particularly the blood–brain barrier, and explores emerging delivery systems, such as direct intracerebral injection, intracerebroventricular injection, systemic delivery (including intravenous ...
