A Classic Case of Maple Syrup Urine Disease and a Novel Mutation in the BCKDHA Gene
Background: Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inherited branched-chain amino acid metabolic disorder caused by the deficiency in the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex. In MSUD, elevation of the branched-chain amino acids, such as alpha-keto acid and alpha-hydroxy acid, occurs due to the BCKDC gene deficiency, appearing in the blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid,...
متن کاملSandhoff Disease without Hepatosplenomegaly Due to Hexosaminidase B Gene Mutation
Sandhoff disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused due to deficiency of hexosaminidase (HEX) A and B. A 1-year-old male child presented with regression of milestones, exaggerated startle response, decreased vision, and seizures from 6 months of age. The child had coarse facies without hepatosplenomegaly. Serum levels of β hexosaminidase total (A + B) were low. Genetic testing for Sandhoff d...
متن کاملCanine GM2‐Gangliosidosis Sandhoff Disease Associated with a 3‐Base Pair Deletion in the HEXB Gene
BACKGROUND GM2-gangliosidosis is a fatal neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease (LSD) caused by deficiency of either β-hexosaminidase A (Hex-A) and β-hexosaminidase B (Hex-B) together, or the GM2 activator protein. Clinical signs can be variable and are not pathognomonic for the specific, causal deficiency. OBJECTIVES To characterize the phenotype and genotype of GM2-gangliosidosis disea...
متن کاملFirst Case of Late-Onset Glycogen Storage Disease Type II in Russia with a Novel Mutation.
recessive disorder resulting from a defi ciency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA, or acid maltase), includes two main forms – infantileand late-onset glycogen storage disease type II (GSD II). Despite the age of onset and different life prognosis, Pompe disease is a single disease continuum with variable rates of disease progression and different ages of onset. The late-onset form of Pompe disease (L...
