Carnitine deficiency secondary to renal Fanconi's tubulopathy has been described in only a few inborn errors of metabolism: cystinosis, galactosemia, and Fanconi-Bieckel syndrome. We report a 27-month-old infant who presented with a sudden change in gait owing to proximal muscle weakness. The
BACKGROUND
Tyrosinemia type I is an autosomal recessively inherited metabolic disease of tyrosine metabolism due to the deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase. Clinical manifestations include hepatic failure, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal fanconi syndrome, and neurologic crisis.
Hereditary tyrosinemia results from an inborn error in the final step of tyrosine metabolism. Neurological manifestations have been reported in nearly half of patients during illness to have characteristics of altered consciousness, weakness, anorexia, vomiting, and pain in the extremities and
Hereditary tyrosinemia results from an inborn error in the final step of tyrosine metabolism. The disease is known to cause acute and chronic liver failure, renal Fanconi's syndrome, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Neurologic manifestations have been reported but not emphasized as a common problem. In

OBJECTIVE
Neurologic complications are a significant cause of morbidity in children after liver transplant. In this study, we sought to evaluate the neurologic complications in children after liver transplant.
METHODS
All children aged younger than 18 years old who had undergone liver transplant
The acute or inducible hepatic porphyrias comprise four inherited disorders of heme biosynthesis. They usually remain asymptomatic for most of the lifespan of individuals who inherit the specific enzyme deficiencies but may cause life-threatening attacks of neurovisceral symptoms. Failure to
CoQ transfers electrons from complexes I and II of the mitochondrial respiratory chain to complex III. There are very few reports on human CoQ deficiency. The clinical presentation is usually characterized by: epilepsy, muscle weakness, ataxia, cerebellar atrophy, migraine, myogloblinuria and
In the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase deficient (Fah-/-) mouse, massive liver repopulation can be easily obtained after transplanted hepatocytes. Understanding the mechanisms of complete liver repopulation in Fah-/- mice will be useful for future clinical application. Here, we
Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes (MDS) are clinically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorders resulting from nuclear gene mutations. The affected individuals represent a notable reduction in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content, which leads to malfunction of the components of the
