NTBC treatment in tyrosinaemia type I: Long-term outcome in French patients
We describe a retrospective study of long-term outcome of 46 patients treated and regularly followed in France with 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-1, 3-cyclohexanedione (NTBC) for tyrosinaemia type I. Mo...

Genetic heterogeneity of the GLDC gene in 28 unrelated patients with glycine encephalopathy
Glycine encephalopathy, or nonketotic hyperglycinaemia (NKH; Mckusick 238300) is a severe autosomal recessive disease due to a defect in the glycine cleavage system (GCS), which is a complex of four subunits: ...

First-trimester enzymatic and molecular prenatal diagnosis of mevalonic aciduria
Prenatal diagnosis was offered to a family at risk of mevalonic aciduria. A chorionic villus sample was obtained and both mevalonate kinase activity and mutation analysis were done. An affected fetus was diagn...

False-positive results in neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis based on a three-stage protocol (IRT/DNA/IRT): Should we adjust IRT cut-off to ethnic origin?
Since 1979, newborn screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) has been possible by measuring immunoreactive tryspinogen (IRT) in blood spots. In France, a programme based on a three-stage strategy (IRT/DNA/IRT) start...

Mutations in the pterin-4α-carbinolamine dehydratase (PCBD) gene cause a benign form of hyperphenylalaninemia
Four patients with primapterinuria, postulated to be due to pterin-4α-carbinolamine dehydratase (PCD) deficiency, were diagnosed by biochemical and DNA analysis. All four patients presented in the neonatal pe...

Homocysteine response to methionine challenge in four obligate heterozygotes for homocystinuria and relationship with cystathionineβ-synthase mutations
Fasting and post-methionine load plasma total homocysteine concentrations were investigated in the parents of two homocystinuric patients. Three genetic mutations in the cystathionineβ-synthase gene were found. I...

Reliable prenatal diagnosis of Canavan disease (aspartoacylase deficiency): Comparison of enzymatic and metabolite analysis
Prenatal diagnosis has been undertaken in 17 pregnancies in 15 families at risk for aspartoacylase deficiency. Amniocentesis was at 14–18 weeks gestation followed by measurement of amniotic fluidN-acetyl-l-aspart...
