Mutation analysis in 54 propionic acidemia patients
Deficiency of propionyl CoA carboxylase (PCC), a dodecamer of alpha and beta subunits, causes inherited propionic acidemia. We have studied, at the molecular level, PCC in 54 patients from 48 families comprise...

Propionic acidemia: neonatal versus selective metabolic screening
Whereas propionic acidemia (PA) is a target disease of newborn screening (NBS) in many countries, it is not in others. Data on the benefit of NBS for PA are sparse.

Treatment recommendations in long-chain fatty acid oxidation defects: consensus from a workshop
Published data on treatment of fatty acid oxidation defects are scarce. Treatment recommendations have been developed on the basis of observations in 75 patients with long-chain fatty acid oxidation defects fr...

Management and outcome in 75 individuals with long-chain fatty acid oxidation defects: results from a workshop
At present, long-chain fatty acid oxidation (FAO) defects are diagnosed in a number of countries by newborn screening using tandem mass spectrometry. In the majority of cases, affected newborns are asymptomati...

Intermediate hyperhomocysteinaemia and compound heterozygosity for the common variant c.677C>T and a MTHFR gene mutation
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in the regulation of plasma homocysteine levels. MTHFR deficiency, an autosomal recessive disorder, results in homocystinuria and hypomethioninaemia ...

Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) I/III deficiency with concurrent hyperhomocysteinaemia: Two novel cases
This study reports three novel mutations of the methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) lA gene and confirms that hyperhomocysteinaemia may be a characteristic finding in MAT I/III deficiency. Thus, MAT I/III def...

Diagnosis of N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency by use of cultured fibroblasts and avoidance of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay
Molecular diagnosis of N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency (NAGSD) has become possible now that the corresponding gene has been identified. We describe the genetic analysis of a patient with NAGSD using low-lev...

Isolated thrombosis due to the cystathionine β-synthase mutation c.833T>C (I278T)
Hereditary homocystinuria due to cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) deficiency is a rare disease (about 1:20 000 in Germany) often complicated by thromboembolism. Single mutations, which affect the C-terminal regi...

Unknown peaks in GC-MS analyses of Guthrie cards blood samples might be the result of sample contamination by the black markings of the card
Azelaic acid, sometimes found during analysis of Guthrie card blood samples, may be derived from the printing ink used to mark the spotting area.

Individual blood–brain barrier phenylalanine transport in siblings with classical phenylketonuria
Recent studies indicate that individual blood–brain transport characteristics of phenylalanine may lead to different clinical outcomes in phenylketonuria (PKU) patients in spite of comparable dietary control. ...

Clinical, enzymatic, and molecular genetic characterization of a biochemical variant type of argininosuccinic aciduria: prenatal and postnatal diagnosis in five unrelated families
A biochemical variant of argininosuccinate lyase deficiency, found in five individuals, is introduced. In comparison to classical patients, the variant cases of argininosuccinate lyase deficiency were characte...

Tetrahydrobiopterin responsiveness in a large series of phenylke tonuria patients
In a group of 87 consecutive patients with hyperphenylalaninaemia born since 1990, only 3 patients showed a (temporary) decrease of serum phenylalanine levels after tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) loading in usual dose...

Behavioural and emotional problems in early-treated adolescents with phenylketonuria in comparison with diabetic patients and healthy controls
Even early-treated patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) have a higher risk of psychosocial maladjustment. This study was performed to determine whether emotional and behavioural problems are specific in phenylk...
