متن کاملEthylmalonic Encephalopathy ETHE1 R163W/R163Q Mutations Alter Protein Stability and Redox Properties of the Iron Centre
ETHE1 is an iron-containing protein from the metallo β-lactamase family involved in the mitochondrial sulfide oxidation pathway. Mutations in ETHE1 causing loss of function result in sulfide toxicity and in the rare fatal disease Ethylmalonic Encephalopathy (EE). Frequently mutations resulting in depletion of ETHE1 in patient cells are due to severe structural and folding defects. However, some...
متن کاملAn uncommon severe clinical course of European tick-borne encephalitis.
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is the major European arbovirosis. Man is often infected by the tick bite; laboratory infections as well as infections after consumption of nonpasteurized milk have occasionally been reported. TBE typically takes a biphasic course. After an incubation period (7-14 days usually), the prodromal symptoms occur. The first stage of the disease lasts 1-8 days. After an a...
متن کاملEthylmalonic encephalopathy and SCAD deficiency
Ethylmalonic encephalopathy is a devastating, infantile, autosomal recessive, metabolic disorder caused by defects in the mitochondrial sulfur dioxygenase, ETHE1, and characterized by ethylmalonic and methylsuccinic aciduria, lactic acidemia associated with developmental delay, orthostatic acrocyanosis, recurrent petechiae, chronic diarrhea, and abnormalities on brain MRI. The authors also repo...
