Carbonic anhydrase VA (CA-VA) deficiency is a rare cause of hyperammonemia caused by biallelic mutations in Most patients present with hyperammonemic encephalopathy in early infancy to early childhood, and patients usually have no further recurrence of hyperammonemia with a favorable outcome. This retrospective cohort study reports 18 patients with CA-VA deficiency caused by homozygosity for a founder mutation, c.59G>A p.

This investigation delves into the inhibitory capabilities of a specific set of triterpenoic acids on diverse isoforms of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA). Oleanolic acid (1), maslinic acid (2), betulinic acid (3), platanic acid (4), and asiatic acid (5) were chosen as representative triterpenoids for evaluation. The synthesis involved acetylation of parent triterpenoic acids 1-5, followed by sequential reactions with oxalyl chloride and benzylamine, de-acetylation of the amides, and subsequent treatment with sodium hydride and sulfamoyl chloride, leading to the formation of final compounds 21-25.

Article Synopsis
  • Hyperammonemia caused by carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency is a rare but severe genetic disorder linked to mutations in the CA5A gene, often resulting in unexplained hyperammonemia in newborns and infants.
  • A case study details a 5-year-old patient with a specific mutation in the CA5A gene, previously identified in a Russian boy, highlighting its occurrence in that population.
  • The study suggests that targeted genetic testing for this mutation should be implemented in neonatal intensive care units to allow for early diagnosis and intervention.

Article Synopsis
  • Carbonic anhydrase V (CA V) is a mitochondrial enzyme found in mammals, with two forms in mice (CA VA and CA VB) that have distinct functions in ammonia detoxification and metabolic processes.
  • CA VA is crucial for detoxifying ammonia and providing bicarbonate for biosynthesis, while CA VB's role is less understood but important for spermatogenesis.
  • Mutations in CA5A lead to metabolic issues in children, and early detection of hyperammonaemia can allow effective treatment with N-carbamyl-l-glutamate, making CA VA deficiency a treatable metabolic condition.

Carbonic anhydrase VA (CA-VA) deficiency is a rare autosomal-recessive inborn error of metabolism. It is imperative to consider CA-VA deficiency as a differential diagnosis in neonates with hyperammonemia not attributed to defects in urea cycle enzymes, organic acid disorders, hypoglycemia, and primary hyperlactatemia. The case described in this report had a metabolic crisis on day three of life with biochemical abnormalities demonstrating hypoglycemia, elevated ammonia, and lactate.
