Wilson disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene causing hepatic and neurological damage due to copper accumulation. Early diagnosis and treatment could lead to improved survival of patients. Patients are best treated at pre-symptomatic stages but early diagnosis of Wilson disease is challenging owing to complex diagnosis. Evidence based genetic counseling...
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are a group of inherited metabolic disorders which are caused by mutations in the specific genes that lead to impaired proteins or enzymes production. Different metabolic pathways are perturbed due to the deficiency or lack of enzymes. To date, more than 500 IEMs have been reported with most of them being untreatable. However, fortunately 91 such disorders are potentially...
Objective
Single gene mutations leading to severe obesity have so far been identified in 3‐5% cases in European populations. However, prevalence of these pathogenic mutations has not systematically been examined in specific consanguineous populations. Here we describe the incidence of obesity‐associated mutations through a step‐wise sequence analysis, in a cohort of 73 Pakistani children with severe...
