Periventricular Calcification, Abnormal Pterins and Dry Thickened Skin: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum of RMND1?

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND We report a consanguineous Sudanese family whose two affected sons presented with a lethal disorder characterised by severe neonatal lactic acidosis, hypertonia, microcephaly and intractable seizures. One child had additional unique features of periventricular calcification, abnormal

R208X mutation in CLN2 gene associated with reduced cerebrospinal fluid pterins in a girl with classic late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Clinical picture of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis with late infantile onset (LINCL) is characterized by myoclonic seizures and psychomotor regression. We present a case of classic LINCL and reduced cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pterins in a girl of normal psychomotor development and born to

Cerebrospinal fluid pterins and folates in Aicardi-Goutières syndrome: a new phenotype.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To describe three unrelated children with a distinctive variant of Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) characterized by microcephaly, severe mental and motor retardation, dyskinesia or spasticity, and occasional seizures. RESULTS Neuroimaging showed bilateral calcification of basal ganglia

6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase deficiency two-case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

6-Pyruvoyltetrahydropterin Synthase (PTPS) deficiency is the most common cause of hyperphenylalaninemia due to tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency. The presenting symptoms of PTPS deficiency are mental retardation, convulsions, disturbance of tone and posture, drowsiness, irritability, abnormal

[An eighteen-year study on phenylketonuria].

Only registered users can translate articles

A study on phenylketonuria (PKU) has been carried out in China-Japan Friendship Hospital since 1984. The results revealed that: (1) Totally 603 patients with PKU were diagnosed and treated in the hospital from October 1984 to September 2002. Among which 136 cases were identified by neonatal

6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase deficiency with mild hyperphenylalaninemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Severe 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydrobiopterin synthase deficiency is a tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency disorder that presents in infancy with developmental delay, seizures, and abnormal movements associated with hyperphenylalaninemia usually detectable by neonatal phenylketonuria screening programs. We

Report on a new patient with combined deficiencies of sulphite oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase due to molybdenum cofactor deficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

A newborn infant exhibiting seizures and spastic tetraparesis at the age of 1 week was shown to excrete excessive quantities of sulphite, taurine, S-sulphocysteine and thiosulphate, characteristic of sulphite oxidase deficiency. In addition, increased renal excretion of xanthine and hypoxanthine

GTP cyclohydrolase I deficiency, a new enzyme defect causing hyperphenylalaninemia with neopterin, biopterin, dopamine, and serotonin deficiencies and muscular hypotonia.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 4-year-old patient is described with hyperphenylalaninemia, severe retardation in development, severe muscular hypotonia of the trunk and hypertonia of the extremities, convulsions, and frequent episodes of hyperthermia without infections. Urinary excretion of neopterin, biopterin, pterin,

Total truncation of the molybdopterin/dimerization domains of SUOX protein in an Arab family with isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

We ascertained a patient with the full-blown phenotype of isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency in a consanguineous Arab family. The proband's phenotype included the presence of intractable seizures in the neonatal period, some dysmorphic features, neuroradiologic findings reminiscent of hypoxic

Psychomotor retardation, spastic paraplegia, cerebellar ataxia and dyskinesia associated with low 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in cerebrospinal fluid: a novel neurometabolic condition responding to folinic acid substitution.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Normal brain development and function depend on the active transport of folates across the blood-brain barrier. The folate receptor-1 (FR 1) protein is localized at the basolateral surface of the choroid plexus, which is characterized by a high binding affinity for circulating

Efficacy of the Ketogenic Diet for the Treatment of Refractory Childhood Epilepsy: Cerebrospinal Fluid Neurotransmitters and Amino Acid Levels.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The mechanisms of the ketogenic diet remain unclear, but several predictors of response have been proposed. We aimed is to study the relationship between the etiology of epilepsy, cerebrospinal fluid neurotransmitters, pterins, and amino acids, and response to a ketogenic diet. METHODS We

Disorders of biopterin metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Defects in the metabolism or regeneration of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) were initially discovered in patients with hyperphenylalaninaemia who had progressive neurological deterioration despite optimal metabolic control (malignant hyperphenylalaninaemia). BH4 is an essential cofactor not only for

An international survey of patients with tetrahydrobiopterin deficiencies presenting with hyperphenylalaninaemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The present study summarizes clinical and biochemical findings, current treatment strategies and follow-up in patients with tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) deficiencies. METHODS We analyzed the clinical, biochemical and treatment data of 626 patients with BH(4) deficiencies [355 with
