Dual Urea Cycle Dysfunction Caused by Coexisting Argininosuccinic Aciduria and Citrin Deficiency: Clinical, Biochemical, and Molecular Insights From an Exceptional Case. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Dual inherited defects affecting urea cycle function are exceptionally rare. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of the coexistence of argininosuccinic aciduria (ASA) and citrin deficiency (CD). A girl born to consanguineous Tunisian parents presented at 6 months of age with recurrent seizures, vomiting, developmental delay, and severe

Mitochondrial Carrier SLC25A13 Drives Ferroptosis Resistance and Immune Evasion via a STAT3-IFI6 Circuit in Breast Cancer. [PDF]
SLC25A13 is identified as an immunometabolic driver of triple‐negative breast cancer that sustains ferroptosis resistance and immune evasion through a STAT3–IFI6 circuit. Pharmacologic degradation of SLC25A13 restores ferroptosis sensitivity and enhances anti‐PD‐1 efficacy, highlighting a strategy to convert immune‐cold tumors into immunotherapy ...

SLC25A13 Gene Analysis in Citrin Deficiency: Sixteen Novel Mutations in East Asian Patients, and the Mutation Distribution in a Large Pediatric Cohort in China [PDF]
Background:The human SLC25A13 gene encodes citrin, the liver-type mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carrier isoform 2 (AGC2), and SLC25A13 mutations cause citrin deficiency (CD), a disease entity that encompasses different age-dependant clinical phenotypes such as Adult-onset Citrullinemia Type II (CTLN2) and Neonatal Intrahepatic Cholestasis caused by

Identification of Novel Mutations in Chinese Infants With Citrullinemia
Citrullinemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by elevated concentrations of citrulline in the blood resulting from malfunction of the urea cycle. It is categorized into two types, types I and II, which are caused by argininosuccinate

Fatal Non-Hepatic Hyperammonemia Post-Glofitamab: Ureaplasma and Genetic Susceptibility: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Although primarily reported in solid organ transplant recipients and patients undergoing chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell immunotherapy (CAR‐T), non‐hepatic hyperammonemia (NHHA) is a rare but lethal complication in the broader context of post‐ chemo‐immunotherapy hematologic malignancies.

From the cytosol to the inner membrane: biogenesis of the mitochondrial carrier family. [PDF]
Abstract Mitochondrial carrier proteins are essential for cellular physiology as they are active in a wide range of metabolic pathways including production of cellular energy, amino acid synthesis, redox balance and ion homeostasis. The double membrane of mitochondria provides a tightly gated environment through which carrier proteins facilitate the ...

Germline variants predictive of tumor mutational burden and immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy
Summary: High tumor mutational burden (TMB) is associated with response to checkpoint blockade in several cancers. We identify pathogenic germline variants associated with increased TMB (GVITMB).

Adult-onset citrullinaemia type II with liver cirrhosis: A rare cause of hyperammonaemia
Adult-onset citrullinaemia type II (CTLN2) is a rare disease in Chinese patients. As a subtype of citrin deficiency (CD), it is an autosomal recessive disease related to the SLC25A13 mutation on chromosome 7q21.3. In this study, we report a case of CTLN2
