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.

Introduction: Variations in biliary ductal and hepatic vascular anatomy increase the complexity of surgery for choledochal cysts (CDC). The laparoscopic approach for the management of paediatric CDCs with variant anatomy is underreported. This study aimed to describe anatomical variations, operative techniques and early outcomes of laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) in children with CDCs and variant anatomy.

Inhaled β2 agonists form the first-line treatment for bronchial asthma due to their superior bronchodilator effects. In our previous studies, we have identified a significant association of Thr164Ile (T164I) polymorphism (C491T, rs1800088) in the β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) with refractoriness to β2 agonists like salbutamol. Utilizing molecular modeling approaches, we have demonstrated the suboptimal binding of salbutamol as a plausible rationale behind the refractoriness observed in asthmatics.

Neurodegenerative diseases pose significant challenges to healthcare systems globally due to their complex etiology and relentless progression, often rendering conventional treatments ineffective. Recent advances have spotlighted excitatory amino acids, particularly D-amino acids, once considered as products of metabolism of the microbiota or deriving from food intake. This review explores the role of D-amino acids in mitigating excitotoxicity-a process characterized by excessive calcium influx through aberrant N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activation, which is implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases like Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Abnormalities in mitochondrial energy homeostasis can lead to various disorders, including ocular motility aberrations. Previous studies have suggested the involvement of mitochondrial aberrations in strabismus etiology. We compared the blood-derived mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number from comitant strabismus patients with that from age-matched controls, and also compared expression of mitochondrial biogenesis genes in a separate set of extraocular muscle samples from strabismic and control subjects.
