Biotinidase deficiency: A treatable neurometabolic disorder

Beena Devanapalli, Rachel Sze Hui Wong, Natalie Lim et al. · 25 May 2024

Biotinidase (E.C. 3.5.1.12) is an enzyme which recycles biotin, a coenzyme of four carboxylases involved in fatty acid synthesis, amino acid catabolism and gluconeogenesis. Biotinidase deficiency (OMIM #253260) causes a reduction in free biotin leading to multiple carboxylase deficiency. In its severe form, children may have seizures, delayed development, respiratory issues, cutaneous manifestations, hearing and…

Long-term use of efgartigimod alfa in treating a young adult with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and generalized myasthenia gravis

Koji Nagatani, Masatoshi Hayashi · 16 Nov 2024

Abstract Patientis with myasthenia gravis (MG) are at increased risk of other autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist, efgartigimod alfa (EFG-α), is effective in generalized MG (gMG) by a mechanism that decreases levels of IgG, including pathological autoantibodies. Although approved in Japan for gMG in 2022, its…

He complained about a…

A new case of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy and macrocytic anemia with stretched-activated ion channel TMEM63B variant

Kasumi Sasaki, Mitsuko Nakashima, Yuji Fujii et al. · 28 Sep 2024

TMEM63B encodes a stretch-activated ion channel that mediates cation currents in response to osmotic and mechanical stresses. Heterozygous TMEM63B variants have recently been reported in patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies and progressive neurodegeneration. Here, we report a patient with a TMEM63B variant whose seizures were temporarily controlled using ketogenic diet (KD) therapy and perampanel…

CACNA1A-related familial hemiplegic migraine presenting with prolonged impaired consciousness

Mami Akamatsu, Gen Furukawa, Masayuki Hirai et al. · 25 Jan 2025

Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a subtype of migraine with three identified causative genes: CACNA1A , ATP1A2 , and SCN1A . However, diagnosis and treatment of FHM are challenging because of the wide phenotypic variation. We describe a family with genetically diagnosed CACNA1A -related FHM1 in which the proband presented with acute encephalopathy-like symptoms. The…
