Journal ArticleDOI

Creatine Deficiency in the Brain: A New, Treatable Inborn Error of Metabolism

TL;DR: In this article, a patient with extrapyramidal movement disorder and extremely low creatinine concentrations in serum and urine, in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy disclosed a generalized depletion of creatine in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Rate of Recurrent De Novo Mutations in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies

Fadi F. Hamdan, +119 more
TL;DR: De novo missense variants explained a larger proportion of individuals in the series than in other series that were primarily ascertained because of ID, indicating that the genetic landscape of DEE might be different from that of ID without epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pyridoxine dependent epilepsy and antiquitin deficiency: clinical and molecular characteristics and recommendations for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.

TL;DR: The differential diagnosis of pyridoxine or PLP responsive seizure disorders includes PLP-responsive epileptic encephalopathy due to PNPO deficiency, neonatal/infantile hypophosphatasia (TNSALP deficiency), familial hyperphosphatAsia (PIGV deficiency), as well as yet unidentified conditions and nutritional vitamin B6 deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Creatine replacement therapy in guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency, a novel inborn error of metabolism

TL;DR: Long-term oral administration of creatine-monohydrate to an infant with extrapyramidal signs resulted in substantial clinical improvement, disappearance of magnetic resonance (MRI) signal abnormalities in the globus pallidus, and normalisation of slow background activity on the electroencephalogram (EEG).
Journal Article

Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency: the first inborn error of creatine metabolism in man.

TL;DR: Two mutant GAMT alleles were identified that carried a single base substitution within a 5' splice site or a 13-nt insertion and gave rise to four mutant transcripts that lack a residue known to be critical for catalytic activity of GAMT.
