Prevalence of methylmalonic acidemia among newborns and the clinical-suspected population: a meta-analyse

Lizi Jin et al.

Summary: The study estimated the global prevalence of MMA, revealing a low prevalence among newborns but higher among the clinical-suspected population, with Asia and Africa showing higher rates. It recommended improvements in newborn screening strategies and closer monitoring of high-risk populations.

Pernicious Anemia: The Hematological Presentation of a Multifaceted Disorder Caused by Cobalamin Deficiency

Gianluca Esposito et al.

Summary: Pernicious anemia is a neglected and underdiagnosed disorder that is linked to but different from autoimmune gastritis. It is associated with cobalamin deficiency and can lead to various dysfunctions and clinical presentations. Delayed recognition or diagnosis of pernicious anemia may result in potentially life-threatening complications. This review aimed to explore the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentations, micronutrient deficiencies, diagnostic approach, long-term complications, clinical management, and endoscopic surveillance of pernicious anemia.

Epimutations in both the TESK2 and MMACHC promoters in the Epi-cblC inherited disorder of intracellular metabolism of vitamin B12

Abderrahim Oussalah et al.

Summary: This study found that splicing mutations in the antisense PRDX1 gene led to epigenetic silencing of MMACHC and TESK2 in epi-cblC patients, termed as "epi-digenism". This phenomenon is not common in cblC patients, suggesting further research on the potential impact on cancer risk and spermatogenesis.

Toxic Metabolites and Inborn Errors of Amino Acid Metabolism: What One Informs about the Other

Namgyu Lee et al.

Summary: This study provides an overview of amino acid metabolic disorders in inborn errors of metabolism, focusing on the mechanism and pathology of toxic metabolites. It reveals that these metabolites also play a role in other nonhereditary disease conditions, which suggests potential therapeutic applications. The research expands the understanding of metabolite-induced pathology and offers insights for developing treatments for both inborn and nonhereditary metabolic disorders.

Novel exon-skipping variant disrupting the basic domain of HCFC1 causes intellectual disability without metabolic abnormalities in both male and female patients

Parith Wongkittichote et al.

Summary: HCFC1, a global transcriptional regulator, is associated with various disorders, including intellectual disability and metabolic abnormalities. Mutations in HCFC1 outside the Kelch domain can result in dissociation of clinical and metabolic phenotypes, with some variants causing milder or absent metabolic changes. Additionally, HCFC1 mutations can affect both males and females, with females generally exhibiting milder symptoms. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of skewed X inactivation in females with HCFC1-related disorders.

Ruixue Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the disease spectrum and genetic characteristics of IEMs in Xi'an city of Shaanxi province, northwest China, and found that phenylketonuria and methylmalonic acidemia were the two most common disorders. Effective clinical guidance and data support were provided for the popularization and application of expanded newborn screening and genetic counseling of IEMs in this region.

Redox-Linked Coordination Chemistry Directs Vitamin B12 Trafficking

Ruma Banerjee et al.

Summary: Metals, particularly cobalamins like Vitamin B-12, play a crucial role in the functioning of enzymes in the human body. Genetic studies on cobalamin metabolism disorders have identified key genetic loci and pathways. Understanding the intricate chemistry and coordination involved in B-12 trafficking can provide insights into potential therapeutic interventions for related disorders.
