Mitochondrial diseases associated with cerebral folate deficiency.
WITH CEREBRAL FOLATE DEFICIENCY Cerebral folate deficiency (CFD) has been defined as any neuropsychiatric condition associated with isolated lowering of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF) levels in CSF and normal systemic folate metabolism.1 CFD has been detected in the infantile-onset CFD syndrome (mediated by serum folate receptor [FR] autoantibodies of the blocking type1) and Aicardi-Goutières...
متن کاملChild Neurology: Molybdenum cofactor deficiency.
Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by neonatal onset intractable seizures, severe psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic facies, and dislocated ocular lenses. A characteristic biochemical profile permits early diagnosis. Although more than 100 genetically characterized patients have been reported, this number is discrepant with the actual pre...
متن کاملMitochondrial Dynamics in Mitochondrial Diseases
Mitochondria are very versatile organelles in continuous fusion and fission processes in response to various cellular signals. Mitochondrial dynamics, including mitochondrial fission/fusion, movements and turnover, are essential for the mitochondrial network quality control. Alterations in mitochondrial dynamics can cause neuropathies such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in which mitochondrial f...
متن کاملMolybdenum Cofactor and Sulfite Oxidase Deficiency
A universal molybdenum-containing cofactor is necessary for the activity of all eukaryotic molybdoenzymes. In humans four such enzymes are known: Sulfite oxidase, xanthine oxidoreductase, aldehyde oxidase and a mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component. Of these, sulfite oxidase is the most important and clinically relevant one. Mutations in the genes MOCS1, MOCS2 or GPHN all encoding cofactor...
متن کاملMolybdenum Cofactor Biology and Disorders Related to Its Deficiency; A Review Study
Background: Molybden, as a vital and essential micronutrient is directly involved in the metabolism of other elements including carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen. Molybdenum alone is not biologically active unless it binds to specific cofactors. Except for the bacterial nitrogenase, which contains molybdenum-Iron complex, molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is considered as the bioactive component placed in ...
