Background: Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), type mut (0) is a rare type of genetic inborn error of metabolism (IEM) that is caused by aberrant malonyl-CoA mutase activity. Diagnosing IEM can be challenging due to its inherited onset and varying degrees of severity.

Methods And Results: In the present study, a consanguineous Pakistani family suspected of IEM was genetically analyzed using whole exome sequencing.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the role of Zinc-alpha2-glycoprotein (ZAG) in hypertension, focusing on its relationship with blood pressure regulation and metabolic disorders.
  • Researchers found that hypertensive participants had lower serum ZAG levels, and experiments with Azgp1-/- mice showed increased blood pressure linked to impaired sodium excretion and altered renal lipid metabolism.
  • Interventions, including ZAG protein administration and NHE inhibitors, demonstrated potential therapeutic avenues for improving blood pressure and sodium handling in hypertension.

Flavonoids exhibit various bioactivities including anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral properties. Methylated flavonoids are particularly significant due to their enhanced oral bioavailability, improved intestinal absorption, and greater stability. The heterologous production of plant flavonoids in bacterial factories involves the need for enough biosynthetic precursors to allow for high production levels.

Background: Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiency (MLYCDD) is an ultra-rare inherited metabolic disorder, characterized by multi-organ involvement manifesting during the first few months of life. Our aim was to describe the clinical, biochemical, and genetic characteristics of patients with later-onset MLYCDD.

Methods: Clinical and biochemical characteristics of two patients aged 48 and 29 years with a confirmed molecular diagnosis of MLYCDD were examined.
