Unraveling the Interplay Between Metabolism and Neurodevelopment in Health and Disease. [PDF]
CNS Neurosci TherNeurodevelopment is orchestrated by precise metabolic regulation. Key metabolic processes—glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism—drive cell proliferation, differentiation, synaptogenesis, and neurotransmitter synthesis. These are tightly integrated with signaling pathways like mTOR, AMPK, and insulin/IGF that regulate neuronal growth and synaptic ...

The role of ERNDIM diagnostic proficiency schemes in improving the quality of diagnostic testing for inherited metabolic diseases. [PDF]
J Inherit Metab Dis, 2022 Abstract External quality assurance (EQA) is crucial to monitor and improve the quality of biochemical genetic testing. ERNDIM (www.erndim.org), established in 1994, aims at reliable and standardized procedures for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of inherited metabolic disease (IMD) by providing EQA schemes and educational activities.

Novel genotype of mevalonic aciduria with fatalities in premature siblings. [PDF]
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed, 2004 Mevalonic aciduria is described in two very low birthweight siblings with unspecific clinical signs and recurrent septicaemia. Both died within the first 2 months of life. DNA analysis showed a novel mutation in the gene encoding mevalonate kinase.

A Patient With Concurrent Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Porokeratosis Palmaris et Plantaris Disseminata: Case Report and Review of Autoinflammatory Keratinization Diseases. [PDF]
J Cutan PatholABSTRACT The term autoinflammatory keratinization diseases (AIKDs) was recently proposed as a unifying concept for diseases characterized by inflammation in the epidermis and upper dermis which leads to hyperkeratosis, caused by genetic perturbations of the innate immune system.

Defective Protein Prenylation in a Spectrum of Patients With Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 The rare autoinflammatory disease mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD, which includes HIDS and mevalonic aciduria) is caused by recessive, pathogenic variants in the MVK gene encoding mevalonate kinase.

Compromised Protein Prenylation as Pathogenic Mechanism in Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is an autoinflammatory metabolic disorder characterized by life-long recurring episodes of fever and inflammation, often without clear cause. MKD is caused by bi-allelic pathogenic variants in the MVK gene, resulting in
