Question
Answer
Ones to think about if child presents in first 1-3 weeks ?   -*Amino acidopathies -MSUD -PKU -tyrosinemia -*Urea cycle disorders -*Galactosemia -*Mitochondrial disorders -*Peroxisomal -*Fatty acid oxidation  
🗑
MSUD MoA ?   * can't break down branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine).....see well at birth and get after 3 days, hypoglycemia and met acidosis.... Urine smells like maple syrup  
🗑
MSUD tmt ?   * no BCAA and take thiamine and B1  
🗑
PKU MoA ?   *PH deficiency - phenylalanine hydroxylase def...leads to high levels of phenyalanine, and no tyrosine is made....see fair skin/hair, musty odor, epilepsy, other hypopigmentations  
🗑
PKU tmt ?   * give tyrosine since you cant make it  
🗑
Maternal PKU and being pregnant ?   *phenylalanine is teratogenic, so can cause retardation, microceph, or heart defects  
🗑
*Organic Acidemias*   .  
🗑
Neonatal presentation ?   *Well at birth and for the first few days of life ----- *often lethal, and survivors often have significant physical and/or mental disabilities  
🗑
If metabolic acidosis with an anion gap, and elevated lactate ?   *Methylmalonic acidemia .....*Propionic acidemia  
🗑
Methylmalonic acidemia MoA and Tmt?   *autosomal recessive...defects in methylmalonyl-CoA mutase....* tmt = diet and B12..... *see massive urinary excretion of methylmalonic acid  
🗑
Propionic acidemia MoA ?   *autosomal recessive....*defects in propionyl-CoA carboxylase .... *see hyperammonemia, high plasma glycine; increased urinary excretion of 3-hydroxypropionic acid, methylcitrate, and tiglylglycine  
🗑
*Urea Cycle Disorders*   .  
🗑
Main thing we see that is different in urea cycle disorders ?   * no acidosis, but see respiratory alkalosis...with high serum amino acids  
🗑
Most common Urea cycle defect and also only X-linked ?   * OTC - see high levels of ornithine  
🗑
Consequences of Urea Cycle Disorders ?   * the high levels of ammonia can lead to neurological impairment  
🗑
*Carbohydrate Disorders*   .  
🗑
Classic Galactosemia ?   *Galactose-1-P uridyl transferase (GALT) deficiency --- cant break down Gal-1-P, and it is toxic  
🗑
Non-Classic Galactosemia ?   *Galactokinase deficiency - cant turn galactose in to Gal-1-P  
🗑
Galactosemia Cx ?   *newborn crash with vomiting diarrhea, jaundice, progressive liver and renal disease, increased risk of E.coli sepsis, progressive bilateral cataracts  
🗑
Glycogen Storage Disorders*   *  
🗑
von Gierke disease ?   *Glucose-6-phosphatase ---convulsions b cant metabolize glucose for energy, get hyperlipidemia/urcemia - skin xanthomas, and bleeding issues  
🗑
McArdle syndrome ?   *painful cramps with exercise  
🗑
*Fatty Acid Oxidation*   .  
🗑
MCAD deficiency basics ?   * major source of energy once hepatic glycogen stores become depleted during prolonged fasting and periods of higher energy demands.....* creates a fatal hypoglycemic state  
🗑
*Peroxisomal Disorders*   .  
🗑
Zellweger Syndrome ?   *most severe peroxisomal disorder.... *get over-accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids .... *see facial features such as a high forehead, underdeveloped eyebrow ridges, & wide-set eyes; & neurological abnormalities such as mental retarded  
🗑
*Lysosomal storage disorders*   .  
🗑
The single most common LSD is ?   *Gaucher disease - Progression leads to a vegetative state  
🗑
*Mucopolysaccharidoses*   .  
🗑
Hurler syndrome (MPS I) ?   *Nz = alpha- idurondase....* corneal clouding, coarse facies, short stature, dysostosis multiplex, organomegaly, heart disease, joint stiffness, mental retardation; diagnosed @ 6-24 months, childhood death  
🗑
Tay-Sachs Disease ?   *GM2 gangliosidosis - Lipid storage disease often results in distended neurons.....*A cherry-red spot is a finding in the macula  
🗑
Tay-Sachs Disease enzyme def ?   * Hexosamindase A  
🗑
