Novel pathogenic variant in a mild case of type B molybdenum cofactor deficiency: case report and literature review [PDF]
Background Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) is a rare metabolic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the highly conserved biosynthetic pathway of molybdenum cofactor (MoCo), resulting in sulfite intoxication.

Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Children With Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) is a rare differential diagnosis of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) with considerable variation in presentation and treatment outcomes. The temporospatial evolution of brain MRI appearances has not been well described.

A Novel Multimodal LC-MS/MS Panel for the Comprehensive Diagnosis of Neurometabolic Disorders in CSF. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Metabolic testing of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is essential for early diagnosis of neurometabolic disorders. However, the large number of differential diagnoses, the phenotypic variance within a clinical picture, and the disease rarity complicate targeted metabolic diagnostics.

Assessment of urinary 6-oxo-pipecolic acid as a biomarker for ALDH7A1 deficiency. [PDF]
Abstract ALDH7A1 deficiency is an epileptic encephalopathy whose seizures respond to treatment with supraphysiological doses of pyridoxine. It arises as a result of damaging variants in ALDH7A1, a gene in the lysine catabolism pathway. α‐Aminoadipic semialdehyde (α‐AASA) and Δ1‐piperideine‐6‐carboxylate (P6C), which accumulate because of the block in ...
