A compound heterozygote case of isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency in the first child boy of a non-consanguineous Caucasian family. He's a compound heterozygote for the sulfite oxidase gene, presenting low cystine, undetectable homocysteine and normal uric acid blood concentrations and undetectable sulfite oxidase activity in his cultured fibroblasts. Both mutations are not reported yet. The clinical presentation was typical and severe, with generalized status epilepticus and premature death.

Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive disease with a very poor prognosis. This condition usually presents in the neonatal period and is mainly characterized by neurological abnormalities, including refractory seizures, abnormal muscle tone, abnormal movements, and marked developmental delay. The differentiation from hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is difficult based...

متن کاملMolybdenum Cofactor and Sulfite Oxidase Deficiency
A universal molybdenum-containing cofactor is necessary for the activity of all eukaryotic molybdoenzymes. In humans four such enzymes are known: Sulfite oxidase, xanthine oxidoreductase, aldehyde oxidase and a mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component. Of these, sulfite oxidase is the most important and clinically relevant one. Mutations in the genes MOCS1, MOCS2 or GPHN all encoding cofactor...
متن کاملKinetic results for mutations of conserved residues H304 and R309 of human sulfite oxidase point to mechanistic complexities.
Several point mutations in the gene of human sulfite oxidase (hSO) result in isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency, an inherited metabolic disorder. Three conserved residues (H304, R309, K322) are hydrogen bonded to the phosphate group of the molybdenum cofactor, and the R309H and K322R mutations are responsible for isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency. The kinetic effects of the K322R mutation ha...
