Inborn Error of Gluconeogenesis
In 1951 Leigh described a condition which is now known as subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy. Ebels, Blokzijl, and Troelstra (1965) have summarized findings in 28 of these patients, all of whom died. Since then 6 further cases have been described by Worsley et al. (1965), Namiki (1965), Lakke, Ebels, and ten Thye (1967), and Clayton, Dobbs, and Patrick (1967). The metabolic background of ...
متن کاملAn Inborn Error of Fructose Metabolism
Although essential fructosuria has been known for 70 years and has been recognized as an inborn error of metabolism for more than 20 years (Lasker, 1941), it is only recently that a second metabolic anomaly involving fructose has been described by Froesch, Prader, Labhart, Stuber and Wolf (1957). These authors recorded four affected (two children and two adults) and three probably affected memb...
متن کامل3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency: an inborn error of serine biosynthesis.
Serine concentrations were markedly decreased in the cerebrospinal fluid of two brothers with congenital microcephaly, profound psychomotor retardation, hypertonia, epilepsy, growth retardation, and hypogonadism. The youngest boy also had congenital bilateral cataract. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed evidence of dysmyelination. Plasma serine as well as plasma and cerebrospinal fl...
متن کاملAlkaptonuria: An Inborn Error of Amino Acid Metabolism
Background: Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare hereditary metabolic disorder that occupies a unique position in the history of medical and biochemical genetics because it was the first human metabolic disorder to be interpreted as genetically determined. This condition is characterized by deficiency of HGAO, an enzyme that is mainly found in hepatocytes. The medical interest in alkaptonuria stems fro...
متن کاملArgininosuccinic aciduria, an inborn error of amino acid metabolism.
It is probable that many, if not all, of the inherited ('inborn') metabolic disturbances result from a specific enzyme defect, arising from a single abnormal gene. Examples are now known of a number of such inherited defects, some involving amino acids, which result in a block of a metabolic pathway. For example, the normal pathway for the metabolism of phenylalanine and tyrosine is by a series...
