Levodopa-refractory hyperprolactinemia and pituitary findings in inherited disorders of biogenic amine metabolism
Elevated serum prolactin concentrations occur in inherited disorders of biogenic amine metabolism because dopamine deficiency leads to insufficient inhibition of prolactin secretion. This work from the International Working Group on Neurotransmitter Related Disorders (iNTD) presents [...]
The continuously evolving phenotype of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency
The objective of the study is to evaluate the evolving phenotype and genetic spectrum of patients with succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD) in long-term follow-up. Longitudinal clinical and biochemical data of 22 pediatric and 9 [...]
Neurotransmitters… it is all about communication!
JIMD Special Issue Communication was also the main goal of the conference “Rare-neurotransmitter-related diseases—Research to treatment (RNTD-R2T)” which took place in the city of Belgrade, Serbia, with 184 participants from 24 countries. With funding from [...]

Gene therapy for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency: Requirements for safe application and knowledge-generating follow-up
The autosomal recessive defect of aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) leads to a severe neurological disorder with manifestation in infancy due to a pronounced, combined deficiency of dopamine, serotonin and catecholamines. The success of conventional [...]
