Epilepsy Phenotypes of Vitamin B6-Dependent Diseases: An Updated Systematic Review

open access: yesChildren, 2023
Background: Vitamin B6-dependent epilepsies include treatable diseases responding to pyridoxine or pyridoxal-5Iphosphate (ALDH7A1 deficiency, PNPO deficiency, PLP binding protein deficiency, hyperprolinemia type II and hypophosphatasia and ...

Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy: An Expanding Clinical Spectrum [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Neurology, 2016
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy is a rare autosomal recessive epileptic encephalopathy caused by antiquitin (ALDH7A1) deficiency. In spite of adequate seizure control, 75% of patients suffer intellectual developmental disability. Antiquitin deficiency affects lysine catabolism resulting in accumulation of α-aminoadipic semialdehyde/pyrroline 6 ...

Mutations in PROSC Disrupt Cellular Pyridoxal Phosphate Homeostasis and Cause Vitamin B6-Dependent Epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B6, functions as a cofactor in humans for more than 140 enzymes, many of which are involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and degradation.

Biochemical data from the characterization of a new pathogenic mutation of human pyridoxine-5'-phosphate oxidase (PNPO) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
PNPO deficiency is responsible of severe neonatal encephalopathy, responsive to pyridoxal-5’-phosphate (PLP) or pyridoxine. Recent studies widened the phenotype of this condition and detected new genetic variants on PNPO gene, whose pathogenetic role and

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line carrying biallelic deletions (SCTCi019-B) in ALDH7A1 using CRISPR/Cas9

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2023
Biallelic pathogenic variants in ALDH7A1 are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE). ALDH7A1 encodes for the third enzyme of the lysine catabolism pathway.
