CTX

A Rare Case of Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis Associated With a Mutation on COG8 Gene

2023-01-11

This article describes a rare case of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) disorder associated with a mutation on COG8 gene, which presented by unusual symptoms.

SÜKRAZ-IZOMALTAZ EKSIKLIĞI

Prevalence of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency in Turkey may be much higher than the estimates

2023-01-01

This clinical study revealed that sucrase-isomaltase deficiency may have been underdiagnosed in patients with chronic diarrhea in Turkey.

CSID

Severe pathogenic variants of intestinal sucrase-isomaltase interact avidly with the wild type enzyme and negatively impact its function and trafficking

2022-11-01

This study provides novel insights into the potential role of heterozygosity in the pathophysiology of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency and irritable bowel syndrome.

NIEMANN-PICK

Niemann-Pick type A disease with new mutation: A case report

2022-07-27

This presentation describes a 1-year-old boy with neurodevelopmental delay, hepatosplenomegaly, and severe hypotonia.

POMPE

Non-specificity of symptoms in infantile-onset Pompe disease may delay the diagnosis and institution of treatment

2022-03-09

Careful evaluation of common pediatric presentations, which may be an indication of serious underlying pathologies, is of great importance.

ALPHA-MANNOSIDOSIS

Long-term outcome of patients with alpha-mannosidosis - A single center study

2021-12-09

The aim of this study was to present the long-term follow-up of 12 Polish patients with alpha-mannosidosis (AM), evaluate the clinical, biochemical, and molecular findings and progression of the disease.

CSID

Two Novel Mutations in the SI Gene Associated with Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency: A Case Report in China

2021-12-09

This article reports a case of novel variants in the SI gene that caused CSID. This report provides valuable information for the clinical field, especially in China.

CSID

The glucose-regulated protein GRP94 interacts avidly in the endoplasmic reticulum with sucrase-isomaltase isoforms that are associated with congenital sucraseisomaltase deficiency

2021-09-01

In this study, an interaction between glucose-regulated protein GRP94 and sucrase-isomaltase (SI) was demonstrated. The interaction of GRP94 with SI and regulation of its folding, suggests that GRP94 may play a role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis.

CSID

The patient journey to diagnosis and treatment of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency

2021-08-01

This study sought to better understand the experience of patients with congenital sucraseisomaltase deficiency (CSID) prior to, during, and after their diagnosis and its subsequent treatment with sacrosidase.

CSID

Differential Effects of Sucrase-Isomaltase Mutants on Its Trafficking and Function in Irritable Bowel Syndrome

2020-12-22

In genetic screening of IBS patients, it is discovered that rare sucrase-isomaltase (SI) gene variants are associated with IBS. The findings of this article emphasize the importance of screening for SI mutations in IBS patients and considering enzyme replacement therapy as an appropriate treatment option, similar to CSID.

ADA-SCID

Urogenital Abnormalities in Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency

2020-05-01

According to our findings, it is essential to include urogenital evaluation in ADA-SCID patients to detect any abnormalities, initiate early treatment, and prevent long-term complications.

CSID

Heterozygotes Are a Potential New Entity among Homozygotes and Compound Heterozygotes in Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency

2019-09-25

In this study, heterozygote mutation carriers in CSID were proposed as a new entity, possibly presenting with milder symptoms. It is suggested that the heterozygote mutants may affect the disease development and treatment.
