May 6th, 2021 - Several essential components of the electron transport chain, the major producer of ATP in mammalian cells, are encoded in the mitochondrial genome. These 13 proteins are translated within mitochondria by 'mitoribosomes'. Defective mitochondrial t...

Apr 15th, 2021 - Childhood hypoglycemia in combination with hepatomegaly is suspicious for inborn errors of metabolism. Cystic fibrosis typically presents with failure to thrive, pulmonary and gastrointestinal symptoms. Hepatic involvement and hypoglycemia can occ...

Apr 12th, 2021 - The current diagnostic work-up of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) is rapidly moving towards integrative analytical approaches. We aimed to develop an innovative, targeted urine metabolomics (TUM) screening procedure to accelerate the diagnosis o...

Apr 12th, 2021 - Patients with inborn errors of metabolism causing fasting intolerance can experience acute metabolic decompensations. Long-term data on outcomes using emergency letters are lacking. This is a retrospective, observational, single-center study of th...

Apr 5th, 2021 - GM2 gangliosidosis is a rare form of inborn errors of metabolism including Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, and GM2 activator deficiency. GM2 activator protein deficiency is an ultra-rare form of GM2 gangliosidosis. To date, 16 cases of GM2 ac...

Feb 25th, 2019 - Since the first successful umbilical cord blood transplant in 1988, it has been estimated that more than 35,000 transplants have been performed in children and adults for the correction of inborn errors of metabolism, hematopoietic malignancies, a...

Mar 15th, 2018 - Organic acid analysis detects accumulation of organic acids in urine and other body fluids and is a crucial first-tier laboratory test for a broad spectrum of inborn errors of metabolism. It is also frequently ordered as follow-up for a positive n...

Apr 5th, 2012 - Biochemical genetic testing and newborn screening are essential laboratory services for the screening, detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of inborn errors of metabolism or inherited metabolic disorders. Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement ...

Jul 3rd, 2009 - Almost all newborns in the US are screened at birth for multiple inborn errors of metabolism using tandem mass spectrometry. Screening tests are designed to be sufficiently sensitive so that cases are not missed. The NACB recognized a need for sta...

Apr 8th, 2015 - A new clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) makes recommendations regarding the clinical genetics diagnostic approach for children with intellectual disability (ID) or global developmental delays (GDDs). Chromosome microarr.

Jul 9th, 2014 - Genetic Diagnosis and Counseling MCAD deficiency, like other inborn errors of metabolism, is increasingly recognized not as a dichotomous condition but rather as a spectrum of enzyme deficiency states caused by different mutations in the ACADM gen...

Sep 6th, 2013 - Action Points The causes of disease, its subtypes, and risk factors present at the time a child is diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can help predict the likelihood of death or need for heart transplantation. Note that the worst prognosis...

Oct 19th, 2006 - Action Points Explain to parents who ask that dilated cardiomyopathy in infants and children is most often idiopathic. In 34%, the etiology is myocarditis and neuromuscular disorders as well as familial disease, inborn errors of metabolism, and ma...

Apr 21st, 2005 - This feature requires the newest version of Flash. You can download it here. To screen or not to screen -- that is the question. Or is it? Actually, the use of screening in medicine is essential. It is defined as "sifting for the presence of disea...
