We previously identified vitamin B6 deficiency in a child presenting with seizures whose primary diagnosis was the inherited disorder hyperprolinemia type II. This is an unrecognized association, which was not explained by diet or medication. We hypothesized that pyridoxal phosphate (vitamin B6
Delta1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS) catalyses the reduction of glutamate to Delta1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate, a critical step in the biosynthesis of proline, ornithine and arginine. Recently, we reported a newly recognised inborn error due to deficiency of P5CS in two sibs, one presenting
Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 2, encoded by PYCR2, is one of the three homologous enzymes that catalyze the last step of proline synthesis. Homozygous variants in PYCR2 have been reported in patients from multiple consanguineous families with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 10 (HLD10) (MIM:
There are two classifications of hereditary hyperprolinemia: type I (HPI) and type II (HPII). Each type is caused by an autosomal recessive inborn error of the proline metabolic pathway. HPI is caused by an abnormality in the proline-oxidizing enzyme (POX). HPII is caused by a deficiency of
We describe a study of 312 subjects in 71 families near related to a proband with type II hyperprolinaemia. The subjects were Irish travellers (nomads) among whom consanguineous marriage and high fertility are common. Thirteen additional cases of type II hyperprolinaemia were discovered; all were
Hyperprolinemia type II (HP II) is a rare inherited metabolic disease due to the deficiency of pyroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase. It is generally believed to be a benign condition although some patients have neurological problems such as refractory convulsions. Here we report a six-year-old girl
The neurotoxicity of meropenem was much lower than that of both imipenem and panipenem after intraventricular administration to mice. To clarify the major structural features responsible for the induction of convulsions by carbapenem antibiotics, the structure-activity relationship on convulsant
Hyperprolinemia type I is a deficiency of proline oxidase (McKusick 23950), leading to hyperprolinemia and iminoglycinuria, usually with renal involvement. Hyperprolinemia type I is considered a benign trait. We reported a case of hyperprolinemia type I with a severe neurologic disorder and without
N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone (PBN), a widely used nitrone-based free radical trap was recently shown to prevent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors induced muscle fasciculations and brain seizures while being ineffective against glutamergic or cholinergic receptor agonist induced seizures. In
Mutations in SLC25A22 are known to cause neonatal epileptic encephalopathy and migrating partial seizures in infancy. Using whole exome sequencing we identified four novel SLC25A22 mutations in six children from three families. Five patients presented clinical features similar to those in the
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy is a rare autosomal recessive epileptic encephalopathy caused by antiquitin (ALDH7A1) deficiency. In spite of adequate seizure control, 75% of patients suffer intellectual developmental disability. Antiquitin deficiency affects lysine catabolism resulting in
