  • Natalis Information Sheet V03
    Sema4 Natalis Clinical significance of panel Sema4 has designed and validated Natalis, a supplemental newborn screening panel offered for newborns, infants, and young children. This test may be offered to parents as an addition to the state mandated newborn screening that their child received at birth. This panel includes next-generation sequencing, targeting genotyping, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification in a total of 166 genes to screen for 193 conditions that have onset in infancy or early childhood and for which there is treatment or medical management that, when administered early in an infant or child’s life, will significantly improve the clinical outcome. Conditions included in this panel were curated based on criteria such as: inclusion on current state mandated newborn screening panels, onset of symptoms occurring <10 years of age, evidence of high penetrance (>80%), and availability of a treatment or improvement in life due to early intervention. Sema4 has also designed and validated a pediatric pharmacogenetic (PGx) genotyping panel as an adjunct test to the Natalis assay. This panel includes 10 genes and 41 sequence variants involved in drug response variability. The genes and variants in the PGx genotyping panel inform on more than 40 medications that can be prescribed during childhood. Currently, there is evidence supporting the clinical utility of testing for certain PGx variants for which there are genotype-directed clinical practice recommendations for selected gene/drug pairs. Approximately 95% of all individuals will carry at least one clinically actionable variant in the PGx panel. Testing methods, sensitivity, and limitations A cheek swab, saliva sample, or blood sample is provided by the child and a biological parent.

M. van Karnebeek1,2,4,8* Abstract Background: The Treatable ID App was created in 2012 as digital tool to improve early recognition and intervention for treatable inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) presenting with global developmental delay and intellectual disabil‑ ity (collectively ‘treatable IDs’). Our aim is to update the 2012 review on treatable IDs and App to capture the advances made in the identifcation of new IMDs along with increased pathophysiological insights catalyzing therapeutic development and implementation. Methods: Two independent reviewers queried PubMed, OMIM and Orphanet databases to reassess all previously included disorders and therapies and to identify all reports on Treatable IDs published between 2012 and 2021. These were included if listed in the International Classifcation of IMDs (ICIMD) and presenting with ID as a major feature, and if published evidence for a therapeutic intervention improving ID primary and/or secondary outcomes is avail‑ able. Data on clinical symptoms, diagnostic testing, treatment strategies, efects on outcomes, and evidence levels were extracted and evaluated by the reviewers and external experts. The generated knowledge was translated into a diagnostic algorithm and updated version of the App with novel features. Results: Our review identifed 116 treatable IDs (139 genes), of which 44 newly identifed, belonging to 17 ICIMD categories.

  • MTHFR-Support-Australia-Tech-Book
    Patients with MTHFR and methylation issues require a unique approach. The standard products on the market may not be suitable for those with specific issues and therefore a more targeted programme is required. The ability to split your B vitamins is desirable as each patient will have a different need and this allows you to tailor to the individual patient. What is methylation? Methylation or one carbon metabolism is a network of interrelated biochemical pathways for reduction or oxidation and transfer to other compounds. This allows the transfer of a methyl group (one carbon and three hydrogen atoms) onto amino acids, proteins, enzymes and DNA in every cell and tissue of the body. This regulates healing, produces energy, genetic expression of DNA, synthesises neurotransmitters, liver detoxification, immunity and hormonal clearance. So disturbances in this methylation pathway can have significant and widespread effects on many body systems. The key pathways are the folate pathway (of which the MTHFR gene is a crucial final step), the methionine pathway which plays a major role in methyl group metabolism as it allows the recycling of homocysteine back to methionine and elimination via the CBS (Cystathione beta synthase pathway). The methionine synthase enzyme contains a cobalamin cofactor 2 which ensures that with the help of Vitamin B12 the methyl group is transferred to homocysteine. Methionine, which is regenerated from homocysteine is then converted to S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMET). AdoMet then donates the methyl group it obtained from 5- MTHF to over 80 biological methylation reactions, including the methylation of DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids and lipoproteins. The key methyltransferases are the enzyme groups that benefit from this donation of methyl’s by AdoMET.

Read Full License Page 1/20 Abstract To investigate the phenotypes, biochemical features and genotypes for 244 pedigrees with methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) in China, and to perform the prenatal genetic diagnosis by chorionic villus for these pedigrees. Gene analyses were performed for 244 pedigrees. There are 130 families, chorionic villus sampling was performed on the pregnant women to conduct the prenatal diagnosis. Among 244 patients, 168 (68.9%) cases were combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, 76 (31.1%) cases were isolated methymalonic aciduria. All the patients were diagnosed with MMA by their clinical manifestation, elevated blood propionylcarnitine, propionylcarnitine to acetylcarnitine ratio, and/or urine/blood methylmalonic acid with or without hyperhomocysteinemia. MMACHC, MUT, SUCLG1 and LMBRD1 gene variants were found in 236 (96.7%) pedigrees included 6 probands with only one heterozygous variant out of 244 cases. For the 130 pedigrees who received a prenatal diagnosis, 22 foetuses were normal, 69 foetuses were carriers of heterozygous variants, and the remaining 39 foetuses harboured compound heterozygous variants or homozygous variants.
