Trafficking Deficiency of TMEM175 Variants in Parkinson's Disease Pathogenesis and the Prospects of Precision Medicine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies that the PD‐associated TMEM175‐L156P variant disrupts lysosomal ion channel trafficking by causing aberrant endoplasmic reticulum retention. A “chaperone–agonist” bifunctional small molecule restores TMEM175‐L156P lysosomal localization and channel function, thereby alleviating PD‐relevant cellular phenotypes and highlighting a ...

Deep sequencing of SMPD1 gene revealed a heterozygous frameshift mutation (p.Ser192Alafs) in a Palestinian infant with Niemann–Pick disease type A: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2018
Background Niemann–Pick disease is caused by reduced level of the lysosomal enzyme acid sphingomyelinase. Children can survive between 2 and 12 years based on the disease type. Two main types are well known: type A and B.

The Spectrum of Niemann-Pick Type C Disease in Greece [PDF]

, 2017
Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC) is a neurovisceral lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in either the NPC1 or the NPC2 gene. It is a cellular lipid trafficking disorder characterized by the accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and various sphingolipids in the lysosomes and late endosomes, and it exhibits a broad clinical spectrum. Today,

The Natural Product Corramycin Acts as a DNA Gyrase Poison and Overcomes Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Corramycin, a myxobacterial natural product antibiotic, exhibits potent bactericidal activity against multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compound hijacks bacterial transporters such as BacA and OppABCD to enter the cell and inhibits DNA synthesis through a previously unrecognized mode of DNA gyrase poisoning, locking the enzyme in an ...

Clinical presentation and molecular genetics of Iranian patients with Niemann-pick type C disease and report of 6 NPC1 gene novel variants: A case series

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports
Niemann Pick Type C disease is a rare and progressive neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the NPC1 and NPC2 genes.

Autopsy pathology of infantile neurovisceral ASMD (Niemann-Pick Disease type A): Clinicopathologic correlations of a case report

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2020
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD; also known as Niemann-Pick Disease [NPD] A and B) is a rare lysosomal storage disease characterized by the pathological accumulation of sphingomyelin within multiple cell types throughout the body.

Genotype–Phenotype Correlations of Monoallelic PFIC Variants in Pediatric Liver Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is classically caused by biallelic pathogenic variants, yet monoallelic variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in PFIC‐associated genes are increasingly identified in children with cholestasis, creating diagnostic uncertainty.

Infant with Type A Niemann Pick Disease and Undetectable Niemann Pick Cells in Bone Marrow

Indian Pediatrics, 2012
Bone marrow aspiration is the preliminary investigation in Niemann Pick disease type A when enzyme assays and mutation studies are unavailable. We report an infant with typical phenotype and enzyme deficiency, but undetectable Niemann Pick cells in the bone marrow. A new mutation R542X in SMPD gene was also detected.

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.
