Article Synopsis
- AADC deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that impacts the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and serotonin, diagnosed via CSF/plasma analysis, AADC activity measurement, and genetic testing for the DDC gene.
- In a study involving 348 patients, researchers identified 26 new DDC variants and analyzed their prevalence, finding that a specific splice variant, c.714+4A>T, was the most common, particularly prevalent in Taiwan and China.
- The majority of identified genotypes were classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic, with only one benign variant reported, and most AADC protein variants impacted protein function significantly based on their structural characteristics.*

Methods: This is a descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study.
Purpose: Percutaneous dilatational tracheotomy (PDT) is a well-established procedure in intensive care medicine. Several reports confirm a low acute and long-term complication rate. However, dilatational tracheotomy is still often postponed even in patients that are under ventilator support for more than 2 weeks.
