Chromosomal microarray and whole‐exome sequence analysis in Taiwanese patients with autism spectrum disorder

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined as a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders. Interplay between de novo and inherited rare variants has been suspected in the development of ASD. Methods Here, we

Oleoylethanolamide regulates intestinal stem cell activity and villus size via PPARα signaling pathway

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
First use of a natural swine model with lipid metabolism to directly link lipid differences to a quantifiable intestinal villus height phenotype. Identified the phospholipid‐derived oleoylethanolamide, rather than canonical fatty acids, as the endogenous primary ligand that activates peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors α (PPARα) to enlarge ...

Organoids for Metabolic Disease Modeling

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) are a diverse group of rare genetic disorders that disrupt metabolic pathways, leading to severe clinical manifestations. Disease models ranging from complex animal models to simple in vitro systems have provided insights into IMDs, but each has limitations.

Case report of a novel variant in SMPD1 of Niemann-Pick disease type A with a liver histology from Thailand

Global Pediatrics
We report a 7-month-old Thai girl diagnosed with a Niemann-Pick Disease (NPD) Type A. Hepatosplenomegaly was initially noticed at the age of 2 months. She developed progressive neurodevelopmental delay at 5 months.

An induced pluripotent stem cell line (TRNDi009-C) from a Niemann-Pick disease type A patient carrying a heterozygous p.L302P (c.905 T>C) mutation in the SMPD1 gene

Stem Cell Research, 2019
Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the SMPD1 gene, which encodes for the protein acid sphingomyelinase.

Chronic visceral acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (Niemann-Pick disease type B) in 16 Polish patients: long-term follow-up

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2019
Background Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), due to mutations in the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 (SMPD1) gene, is divided into infantile neurovisceral ASMD (Niemann-Pick type A), chronic neurovisceral ASMD (intermediate form, Niemann-Pick ...

Favorable clinical response to olipudase alfa in a patient with two variants of uncertain significance in SMPD1: a case report

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics
Background Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), also known as Niemann–Pick disease, is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 (SMPD1) gene, leading to the deficient activity ...

Newborn Screening for Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency: Prevalence and Genotypic Findings in Italy

International Journal of Neonatal Screening
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder with a broad clinical spectrum. Early diagnosis and initiation of treatment are crucial for improving outcomes, yet the disease often goes undiagnosed due to its rarity and ...
