Expanding the genotypic spectrum of PCSK1 deficiency: A novel mutation in severe neonatal diarrhea

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Among congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) deficiency is a rare monogenic disorder, associated with severe neonatal diarrhea and polyendocrinopathies. We report an 18‐day‐old male neonate, born to consanguineous parents, presenting with persistent watery diarrhea, metabolic ...

Impact of CYP2C19 Genotype Variants on PCSK9 Inhibitor Efficacy in Lipid‐Lowering Among Patients With Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ischemic stroke is frequently associated with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS), is a leading cause of global disability and mortality. Current guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet and intensive statin therapies. Proprotein convertase subtilisin 9/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have emerged as a potent lipid‐lowering

Inhibitory Feature of the Proprotein Convertases Prosegments

Medicinal Chemistry, 2008
The proprotein convertases (PCs) are serine proteases involved in various physiological processes and their overactivity or inactivity has been linked to different disorders. PCs are responsible for the proteolytic processing of various polypeptide precursors.

Polyphenols with indirect proprotein convertase inhibitory activity

International Journal of Oncology, 2013
Polyphenols, a class of natural products, have been shown to exhibit cancer protective properties. Proprotein convertases form a family of mammalian subtilisin-like serine endoproteases. Increased expression of these enzymes has been associated with numerous pathologies including cancer.

Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children: Clinical recognition, genetics, and precision management

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children often arises from defects in the leptin–melanocortin pathway. Understanding these rare genetic causes not only clarifies mechanisms of appetite regulation but also enables precision therapies, offering hope beyond lifestyle interventions.
