Histidine Decarboxylase Deficiency Causes Tourette Syndrome: Parallel Findings in Humans and Mice
Tourette syndrome (TS) is characterized by tics, sensorimotor gating deficiencies, and abnormalities of cortico-basal ganglia circuits. A mutation in histidine decarboxylase (Hdc), the key enzyme for the biosynthesis of histamine (HA), has been implicated as a rare genetic cause. Hdc knockout mice exhibited potentiated tic-like stereotypies, recapitulating core phenomenology of TS; these were m...
متن کاملHistidine Decarboxylase Deficiency Prevents Autoimmune Diabetes in NOD Mice
Recent evidence has highlighted the role of histamine in inflammation. Since this monoamine has also been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of type-1 diabetes, we assessed its effect in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model. To this end, we used mice (inactivated) knocked out for the gene encoding histidine decarboxylase, the unique histamine-forming enzyme, backcrossed on a NOD genetic...
متن کاملGlycine decarboxylase deficiency causes neural tube defects and features of non-ketotic hyperglycinemia in mice
Glycine decarboxylase (GLDC) acts in the glycine cleavage system to decarboxylate glycine and transfer a one-carbon unit into folate one-carbon metabolism. GLDC mutations cause a rare recessive disease non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH). Mutations have also been identified in patients with neural tube defects (NTDs); however, the relationship between NKH and NTDs is unclear. We show that reduced...
متن کاملHistidine decarboxylase in Enterobacteriaceae revisited.
With a modification of Taylor's decarboxylation broth, histidine decarboxylase was detected in Enterobacter aerogenes, Morganella morganii, Raoultella ornithinolytica, and some strains of Citrobacter youngae and Raoultella planticola. This method provides a useful confirmatory test for identification of E. aerogenes strains.
متن کاملHistidine Decarboxylase in Hyaline Membrane
During the latter part of pregnancy, the foetal rat produces large quantities of histamine which may be concerned with the growth of the foetus (Kahlson and Rosengren, 1959). Kahlson (1960) reported increased formation of histamine by the human foetus as well: recently Davis (1961) suggested that the antagonism of such excess histamine might account for the beneficial effect of an antihistamine...
