Evaluation of plasma cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol and 7-ketocholesterol in inherited disorders related to cholesterol metabolism.

TL;DR: It is observed that plasma oxysterols correlate negatively with patient’s age and positively with serum total bilirubin, suggesting the potential relationship between oxysterol levels and hepatic disease status.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new simple and rapid LC–ESI-MS/MS method for quantification of plasma oxysterols as dimethylaminobutyrate esters. Its successful use for the diagnosis of Niemann–Pick type C disease

TL;DR: A sensitive LC-MS/MS method to quantify the oxysterols in plasma as dimethylaminobutyrate ester suitable for ESI analysis, which provides a simple, rapid and non-invasive diagnostic tool for the biochemical diagnosis of NP-C disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aarskog-Scott syndrome: clinical update and report of nine novel mutations of the FGD1 gene.

TL;DR: Screening for mutations in the FGD1 gene in a cohort of 60 European patients with a clinically suspected diagnosis of AAS identified nine novel mutations and found any evidence for phenotype–genotype correlations between type and position of mutations and clinical features.
