Mitochondrial Dysfunction Induces Formation of Lipid Droplets as a Generalized Response to Stress [PDF]
Lipid droplet (LD) formation is a hallmark of cellular stress. Cells attempt to combat noxious stimuli by switching their metabolism from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis, sparing resources in LDs for generating cellular reducing power and for ...

Rare recessive loss-of-function methionyl-tRNA synthetase mutations presenting as a multi-organ phenotype [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MARS) catalyzes the ligation of methionine to its cognate transfer RNA and therefore plays an essential role in protein biosynthesis.

Markers of cognitive function in individuals with metabolic disease: Morquio Syndrome and Tyrosinemia Type III [PDF]
We characterized cognitive function in two metabolic diseases. MPS–IVa (mucopolysaccharidosis IVa, Morquio) and tyrosinemia type III individuals were assessed using tasks of attention, language and oculomotor function.

A Missense Mutation (Q279R) in the Fumarylacetoacetate Hydrolase Gene, Responsible for Hereditary Tyrosinemia, Acts as a Splicing Mutation [PDF]
Background: Tyrosinemia type I, the most severe disease of the tyrosine catabolic pathway is caused by a deficiency in fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH).

Newborn Screening for Hepatorenal Tyrosinemia: Tandem Mass Spectrometric Quantification of Succinylacetone [PDF]
AbstractBackground: False-positive and false-negative results occur in current newborn-screening programs for hepatorenal tyrosinemia, which measure tyrosine concentrations in blood spots, sometimes in combination with other metabolites, including succinylacetone.

First Macedonian child with tyrosinemia type 1 successfully treated with nitisinone and report of a novel mutation in the FAH gene [PDF]
Introduction. Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is a severe hereditary metabolic disorder of tyrosine metabolism due to fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) deficiency and accumulation of toxic products in tissues. More than 80 mutations in the FAH gene
