Association of maternal biliary disease with hepatopancreatobiliary morbidity in offspring. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Maternal biliary disease is common, but the link with offspring hepatopancreatobiliary disease has not been studied. We assessed the association between maternal biliary disease and pediatric hepatopancreatobiliary morbidity. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1,271,864 children born between 2006 and 2022 in Quebec,

Guanylate Kinase 1 Deficiency: A Novel and Potentially Treatable Mitochondrial DNA Depletion/Deletions Disease. [PDF]
Objective Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion/deletions syndrome (MDDS) comprises a group of diseases caused by primary autosomal defects of mtDNA maintenance. Our objective was to study the etiology of MDDS in 4 patients who lack pathogenic variants in known genetic causes.

Renal function, sex and age influence purines and pyrimidines in urine and could lead to diagnostic misinterpretation [PDF]
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is commonly used in clinical practice for the diagnosis and follow-up of chronic kidney disease. Screening for inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) is based on analysis of biomarkers in urine, reported by their ratio to ...

Mild orotic aciduria in UMPS heterozygotes: a metabolic finding without clinical consequences [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Elevated urinary excretion of orotic acid is associated with treatable disorders of the urea cycle and pyrimidine metabolism. Establishing the correct and timely diagnosis in a patient with orotic aciduria is key to effective treatment ...

Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase (PNP) Deficiency through TREC-Based Newborn Screening [PDF]
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) deficiency is a rare inherited disorder, resulting in severe combined immunodeficiency. To date, PNP deficiency has been detected in newborn screening only through the use of liquid chromatography tandem mass ...

A quantitative screen for metabolic enzyme structures reveals patterns of assembly across the yeast metabolic network. [PDF]
Despite the proliferation of proteins that can form filaments or phase-separated condensates, it remains unclear how this behavior is distributed over biological networks. We have found that 60 of the 440 yeast metabolic enzymes robustly form structures,
