Nerve Ultrasound Detects Peripheral Nerve Enlargement in Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the CYP27A1 gene, resulting in cholestanol accumulation in various tissues, including peripheral nerves. Polyneuropathy is common but often under‐recognized in CTX.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive sterol storage disease caused by a mutated sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) gene. We analyzed the CYP27A1 gene in two Japanese CTX patients.

Infants with the cholesterol synthesis defect Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLO) have reduced activity of the enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol-7-reductase and accumulate 7-dehydrocholesterol, with the highest concentration in the brain.

Two new mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene in two families lead to cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis [PDF]
This report concerns two new mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene in two patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). In a Surinam-Creole patient (patient A), a G deletion on position cDNA 546/547 in exon 3 led to a frameshift and the introduction of a premature termination codon.

Abstract Background Phenylbutazone (PBZ) can potentially induce gastrointestinal ulceration, and early detection of PBZ‐induced gastroenteropathy will be useful for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of PBZ toxicity. Objectives To identify putative proteins associated with equine gastric ulcer syndrome after clinical dose (4.4 mg/kg ...

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: Clinical and neuroimaging findings
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of effective bile acid biosynthesis (adult lipid storage disorder with the underlying mutation in the CYP27 gene, which encodes sterol 27-hydroxylase, a key enzyme in the ...

Abstract Background Elevated low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Variables of whole‐body cholesterol metabolism, for example, high cholesterol absorption efficiency, might also be atherogenic, whereas the role of bile acids is controversial.
