A 5-day-old infant presents to the ED with frequent vomiting, lethargy and failure to gain weight. Respiratory rate is elevated and mild hepatomegaly is evident on physical exam. Blood glucose, AST and ALT levels are in the normal range but ammonia is elevated. This patient’s symptoms are most likely caused by deficient expression of
Ornithine transcarbamoylase
A 2- week-old breast fed infant presents to the ED with frequent vomiting and lethargy. Physical findings include jaundice, cataracts and hepatomegaly. Labs show elevated galactose, elevated direct and indirect bilirubin and prolonged PT. Temperature is normal and there are no signs of respiratory distress. This patient’s symptoms and lab findings are most likely due to
Galactose-1-phoshate uridyltransferase deficiency
*remember longer name - more problems
Galactokinase deficiency causes
cataracts only!
outline galactose metabolism pthway
galactose--(galactokinase)--> Galactose-1-P--(GALT)--> glucose-1-P
A 4-year-old child recently adopted from Latvia is being evaluated for abnormal gait and developmental delay. Her hair and complexion are extremely fair and she has a noticeably “mousy” odor. Blood testing shows elevated levels of phenylalanine and phenylacetate. This child’s fair complexion is due to deficient
tyrosine synthesis
Which vitamin supplement may benefit a patient with PKU?
BH4
What should be avoided in a PKU patient’s diet
Aspartame, phenylalanine
Which amino acid should be supplemented in a PKU patient’s diet
tyrosine
severe fasting hypoglycemia plus elevated uric acid, hyperlipidemia and/or lactic acidosis =
glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency (GSD1a, Von Gierkes)
A 2-year-old male patient is being evaluated for a potential developmental delay. His length is below the 2nd percentile for his age and his facial appearance is course. Language development is behind what would be expected. There is no evidence of corneal clouding. Heparan and dermatan sulfate are detected in his urine. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Hunter- no corneal clouding
2 most common mucopolysaccharidoses?
hunter and hurler
enzyme def in hurler
iduronidase deficiency)
enzyme disorder in Hunter
iduronate sulfatase deficiency

*hunters live longer- longer enzyme name
hunter vs hurler
hurler corneal clouding--> **hurlers can't be hunters because they can't see
A 16 year old patient presents with fatigue, bone pain and ease of bruising. Physical exam and lab studies show splenomegaly, low hematocrit and thrombocytopenia. A deformity of the lower femur is seen on X-ray. The patient’s symptoms are caused by accumulation of which of the following molecules in macrophages?
Glucosylceramide
