Identification of Compound Heterozygous Mutation in a Korean Patient with Alpha 1-antitrypsin Deficiency
Alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and liver. While AAT deficiency is one of the most common genetic disorders in the Caucasian population, it is extremely rare in Asians. Here, we report the case of a 36-year-old Korean woman with AAT deficiency who visited the emergency department of our hospital for the treatment of progressive dyspnea...
متن کاملTwo novel compound heterozygous mutations in OPA3 in two siblings with OPA3-related 3-methylglutaconic aciduria
OPA3-related 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, or Costeff Optic Atrophy syndrome, is a neuro-ophthalmologic syndrome of early-onset bilateral optic atrophy and later-onset spasticity, and extrapyramidal dysfunction. Urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid and of 3-methylglutaric acid is markedly increased. OPA3-related 3-methylglutaconic aciduria is due to mutations in the OPA3 gene located at ...
متن کاملA Compound Heterozygous HPD Mutation in an Iranian Patient with Hypertyrosinemia Type III
Background and Aims: Hypertyrosinemia type 3 (HT3) is an inherited error in tyrosine metabolism caused by a mutation in the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPD) gene. Here we report a one and half-year-old girl infant who was diagnosed based on increased serum tyrosine levels and increased urinary excretion of p-hydroxyphenyl derivatives. Materials and Methods: The proband was one and ha...
متن کاملTranssulfuration in an adult with hepatic methionine adenosyltransferase deficiency.
We investigated sulfur and methyl group metabolism in a 31-yr-old man with partial hepatic methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) deficiency. The patient's cultured fibroblasts and erythrocytes had normal MAT activity. Hepatic S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) was slightly decreased. This clinically normal individual lives with a 20-30-fold elevation of plasma methionine (0.72 mM). He excretes in his ur...
متن کاملFamilial glucocorticoid deficiency type 1 due to a novel compound heterozygous MC2R mutation.
OBJECTIVE Description of the clinical, biochemical and genetic features of a Polish patient with familial glucocorticoid deficiency. METHODS Detailed clinical investigation, hormonal analysis and sequencing of the coding region of the melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R) gene in this patient. RESULTS We report on a 3-month-old boy with familial glucocorticoid deficiency who presented at the age o...
