TL;DR: It is found that ACGIB cartilage contains less sulphate than control cartilage, and that a sulphation defect is present in all ACG-IB cells and is caused by impaired sulphate uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV: a multi-exon deletion in one of the two COL3A1 alleles affecting structure, stability, and processing of type III procollagen.
TL;DR: The results indicate that this patient with severe, dominantly inherited Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV carries a deletion of 3.3 kilo-base pairs in the triple helical coding domain of one of the two alleles for the pro-alpha-chains of type III collagen (COL3A1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in the liver glycogen synthase gene in children with hypoglycemia due to glycogen storage disease type 0.
Marju Orho,Nils U. Bosshard,Neil R. M. Buist,R. Gitzelmann,Albert Aynsley-Green,Peter Blümel,Mary C. Gannon,Frank Q. Nuttall,Leif Groop +8 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that GSD-0 is caused by different mutations in the GYS2 gene, and expression of the mutated enzymes in COS7 cells indicated severely impaired GS activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galactose-1-phosphate in the pathophysiology of galactosemia
TL;DR: A futile cycle of galactose phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, and the sequestration of phosphorus in gal-1-P are also suspected to play a role in the pathogenesis of Galactosemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defective neutrophil and monocyte functions in glycogen storage disease type Ib: a literature review.
R. Gitzelmann,Nils U. Bosshard +1 more
TL;DR: A summary review of leukocyte function in 42 published cases of glycogen storage disease Ib is presented, finding that polymorphonuclear and monocyte dysfunctions were evidenced in the majority of cases, whereas lymphocytes appeared to be unaffected.
