Sir William Osler. The inborn errors of metabolism, as a group of metabolic diseases, are rela- tively rare and are sometimes called “orphan diseases.”As a group, they account for about 1 in 2,500 births (Applegarth et al. 2000) and, as a cumulative group reaching 20 years of age, their prevalence is about 40 cases per 100,000 popula- tion. In terms of patient days of continuous supervision and care, hundreds of thousands of such days are involved per generation of these patients. Although experience with these diseases as a class may be small and people expert in their management may be relatively few, in the years to come many caregivers will become involved. This book offers help to them. Until the mid-twentieth century, hereditary metabolic and other genetic diseases were considered to be purely “genetic” problems. Destiny would take its course, treatment did not exist, and genetic counseling about recurrence risks was virtually all that could be offered. Phenylketonuria (PKU) was then shown to be a treatable genetic disease in which early diagnosis and effective treatment prevented the disease (mental retardation) in PKU. Other genetic diseases for which an environmental experience was an essential component of cause (e. g., exposure to a dietary component or a drug) were then seen to yield to treatment. Combinations of early diagnosis and access to treat- ment began to change our outlook. Accordingly, diagnosis is the natural focus of our companion book (The Physician’s Guide to the Laboratory Diagnosis of Metabolic Disease); the present volume focuses on treatment and follow- up. Over the past two decades, systematic analyses of treatment outcomes for genetic disease have been attempted (Hayes et al. 1985; Treacy et al. 1995, 2001). There has been slow but significant progress overall, reflecting improvements in treatment protocols, in the therapeutic agents (drugs and foods, for example), in tissue transplantation, and in enzyme replacement by other means. Now there is another problem. Patients with treatable hereditary metabolic disease grow up and become adult-age subjects. For them, treatment continues but under new auspices. The net result is an ever-growing community of persons in need of continuing care (Lee 2002, 2003). This book also addresses that challenge. VI Foreword The Physician’s Guide to the Treatment and Follow-up of Metabolic Disease is not an in-depth reference resource such as may be found elsewhere. This new book is concise, its information is succinct, and it describes procedures of as- sistance to patients in need of continuous care and support. Approximately 300 different disorders are identified for which a documented therapeutic modality is available. How to monitor the therapeutic effect is described. One of the legacies of the Human Genome Project is ignorance; we know so little about our genome and how it works. On the other hand, the project is a significant beginning of new knowledge from which new forms of treatment, to neutralize the effect of mutant disease-causing alleles, will emerge. Accordingly one can anticipate a long life for The Physician’s Guide to the Treatment and Follow-up of Metabolic Disease as it evolves and incorporates new information, knowledge, and wisdom.

McGraw Hill, New York, pp 175–191 Preface You may ask whether there is a need for another book about metabolic dis- orders. Although there are a number of good books dealing with both the diagnosis and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism, many of them are rather complex and detailed. This book starts where the previous one, Physi- cian’s Guide to the Laboratory Diagnosis of Metabolic Diseases, leaves off: what to do after the laboratory reports arrive, and how to proceed once the final diagnosis is made. In contrast to diagnostic procedures, which are today fairly straightforward, treatment and follow-up of inherited metabolic disorders are more complex. Appropriate treatment depends not only on the exact diagnosis, but the management may differ from one country to another to meet local circumstances. This book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with initial manage- ment (emergency treatment of hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia, ketoacidosis, lactic acidemia, liver failure, acute encephalopathy, effect of anesthesia) while awaiting final diagnosis; the second part describes the treatment of groups of disorders. Each chapters starts with a list of disorders, which are numbered thesamewayasinthefirstbook,Physician’s Guide to the Laboratory Diagno- sis of Metabolic Diseases, followed by simple protocols for the treatment and follow-up. Although this book reflects as much as possible current knowledge of the treatment of inherited metabolic disorders, written by experts in this field, medicine is constantly advancing. The application of this information in daily practice remains the responsibility of the attending physician. The details have been checked, but the authors, editors, and publisher can take no responsibility for any consequences arising from the application of the information in the management of any patients. Drug doses, particularly those used rarely, should always be checked meticulously.

Khan 1,* 1 Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, DE 19803, USA; [email protected] (B.C.); [email protected] (S.T.) 2 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +302-298-7335; Fax: +302-651-6888 Abstract: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders caused by a lysosomal enzyme deficiency or malfunction, which leads to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in tissues and organs. If not treated at an early stage, patients have various health problems, affecting their quality of life and life-span. Two therapeutic options for MPS are widely used in practice: enzyme replacement therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, early diagnosis of MPS is crucial, as treatment may be too late to reverse or ameliorate the disease progress. It has been noted that the prevalence of MPS and each subtype varies based on geographic regions and/or ethnic background. Each type of MPS is caused by a wide range of the mutational spectrum, mainly missense mutations. Some mutations were derived from the common founder effect. In the previous study, Khan et al. 2018 have reported the epidemiology of MPS from 22 countries and 16 regions. In this study, we aimed to update the prevalence of MPS across the world. We have collected and investigated 189 publications related to the prevalence of MPS via PubMed as of December 2020. In total, data from 33 countries and 23 regions were compiled and analyzed.

When enzymes required for biosynthesis of HSPGs are inhibited through mutations of RNA interference, a variety of morphological and electrophysiological defects are observed at the NMJ. These defects included changes in the post-synaptic specialization of the muscle (the SSR), loss of mitochondria from the sub-synaptic cytosol, and abnormal mitochondrial morphology. Identification of autophagic regulation as the mechanism by which HSPGs influenced synaptic properties was the foundation of this dissertation. The present work more fully characterizes the influence of HSPG function on autophagic markers in muscle tissue.

It has previously been demonstrated that neonatal ketogenesis is activated independently of starvation. However, the role of ketogenesis during the perinatal period remains unclear. Here, we show that neonatal ketogen- esis plays a protective role in mitochondrial function. We generated a mouse model of insufficient ketogenesis by disrupting the rate-limiting hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 enzyme gene (Hmgcs2). Hmgcs2 knockout (KO) neonates develop microvesicular steatosis within a few days of birth. Electron microscopic analysis and metabolite profiling indicate a restricted energy production capacity and accumulation of acetyl-CoA in Hmgcs2 KO mice. Furthermore,

  • 18 the Mucopolysaccharidoses J
    18 The Mucopolysaccharidoses J. Edward Wraith, Joe T.R. Clarke 18.1 Introduction The disorders described in this chapter are associated with a progressive ac- cumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) within the cells of various organs, ultimately compromising their function. The major sites of disease differ de- pending on the specific enzyme deficiency, and therefore the clinical presenta- tion and approach to therapy is different for the various disease subtypes. Patients with the severe form of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS I; Hurler dis- ease, MPS IH), MPS II (Hunter disease), and MPS VI (Maroteaux-Lamy disease) generally present with facial dysmorphism and persistent respiratory disease in the early years of life. Many patients will have undergone surgical procedures for recurrent otitis media and hernia repair before the diagnosis is established. Infants with MPS III (Sanfilippo A, B, C, or D disease) present with learning difficulties and then develop a profound behavioral disturbance. The behavior disorder is characteristic and often leads to the diagnosis. Somatic features are mild in these patients. Children with MPS IVA (Morquio disease, type A) have normal cognitive functions, but are affected by severe spondoepiphyseal dysplasia, which in most patients leads to extreme short stature, deformity of the chest, marked shortening and instability of the neck, and joint laxity. MPS IVB(Morquiodisease,typeB)ismuchmorevariableinitseffects.Ithassome features of the skeletal dysplasia of MPS IVA; however, most patients also have learning difficulties. MPS VII (Sly disease) often presents as nonimmune hy- drops fetalis.

  • The Genetic Landscape of the Human Solute Carrier (SLC) Transporter Superfamily
    Human Genetics (2019) 138:1359–1377 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00439-019-02081-x ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION The genetic landscape of the human solute carrier (SLC) transporter superfamily Lena Schaller1 · Volker M. Lauschke1 Received: 4 August 2019 / Accepted: 26 October 2019 / Published online: 2 November 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract The human solute carrier (SLC) superfamily of transporters is comprised of over 400 membrane-bound proteins, and plays essential roles in a multitude of physiological and pharmacological processes. In addition, perturbation of SLC transporter function underlies numerous human diseases, which renders SLC transporters attractive drug targets. Common genetic polymorphisms in SLC genes have been associated with inter-individual diferences in drug efcacy and toxicity. However, despite their tremendous clinical relevance, epidemiological data of these variants are mostly derived from heterogeneous cohorts of small sample size and the genetic SLC landscape beyond these common variants has not been comprehensively assessed. In this study, we analyzed Next-Generation Sequencing data from 141,456 individuals from seven major human populations to evaluate genetic variability, its functional consequences, and ethnogeographic patterns across the entire SLC superfamily of transporters. Importantly, of the 204,287 exonic single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) which we identifed, 99.8% were present in less than 1% of analyzed alleles. Comprehensive computational analyses using 13 partially orthogonal algorithms that predict the functional impact of genetic variations based on sequence information, evolutionary conserva- tion, structural considerations, and functional genomics data revealed that each individual genome harbors 29.7 variants with putative functional efects, of which rare variants account for 18%. Inter-ethnic variability was found to be extensive, and 83% of deleterious SLC variants were only identifed in a single population.
