Integrative Approach to Predict Severity in Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia
Objective Glycine encephalopathy, also known as nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH), is an inherited neurometabolic disorder with variable clinical course and severity, ranging from infantile epileptic encephalopathy to psychiatric disorders. A precise phenotypic characterization and an evaluation [...]
Novel Protein Biomarkers of Monoamine Metabolism Defects Correlate with Disease Severity
Novel Protein Biomarkers of Monoamine Metabolism Defects Correlate with Disease Severity Background: Genetic defects of monoamine neurotransmitters are rare neurological diseases amenable to treatment with variable response. [...]
