Medicine development for rare diseases, including inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) is challenging. Many academic innovations fail to reach the patient, either by stranding in the translational stage or due to suboptimal patient access related to pricing or uncertain effectiveness. Expanding and solidifying the role of the academic in public-private partnerships (PPPs) may present an innovative solution to help overcome these complexities. This narrative review explores the literature on traditional and novel collaborative approaches to medicine development for rare diseases and analyzes examples of PPPs, with a specific focus on IEMs...

The inborn error of metabolism Phenylketonuria (PKU, OMIM 261600) is most often due to inactivation of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), which converts phenylalanine (Phe) into tyrosine (Tyr). The reduced PAH activity increases blood concentration of phenylalanine and urine levels of phenylpyruvate. Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) of a single compartment model of PKU predicts that maximum growth rate should be reduced unless Tyr is supplemented. However, the PKU phenotype is lack of development of brain function specifically, and Phe reduction rather than Tyr supplementation cures the disease...

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by the dysfunction of the mitochondrial branched-chain 2-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKD) enzyme complex leading to massive accumulation of branched-chain amino and 2-keto acids. MSUD management, based on a life-long strict protein restriction with non-toxic amino acids oral supplementation represents an unmet need as it is associated with a poor quality of life, and does not fully protect from acute life-threatening decompensations or long-term neuropsychiatric complications...

Liver and liver/kidney transplantation are increasingly used in methylmalonic aciduria, but little is known on their impact on CNS. The effect of transplantation on neurological outcome was prospectively assessed in six patients pre- and post-transplant by clinical evaluation and by measuring disease biomarkers in plasma and CSF, in combination with psychometric tests and brain MRI studies. Primary (methylmalonic- and methylcitric acid) and secondary biomarkers (glycine and glutamine) significantly improved in plasma, while they remained unchanged in CSF...

Alpha-mannosidosis (AM) is a rare, autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disorder caused by alpha-mannosidase deficiency that leads to the accumulation of mannose-rich oligosaccharides. AM symptoms and severity vary among individuals; consequently, AM is often not diagnosed until late childhood. Velmanase alfa (VA), a recombinant human lysosomal alpha-mannosidase product, is the first enzyme replacement therapy indicated to treat non-neurological symptoms of AM in Europe. Previous studies suggested that early VA treatment in children may produce greater clinical benefit over the disease course than starting treatment in adolescents or adults; however, long-term studies in children are limited, and very few studies include children under 6 years of age...

BACKGROUND: Strict metabolic control with dietary treatment during pregnancy is essential for women with phenylketonuria (PKU), as elevated levels of phenylalanine (Phe) are toxic to the developing fetus. Maternal delay in achievement of the recommended Phe level during pregnancy is associated with delayed development of the child. However, the extent to which risk is changed by later or less stringently performed dietary treatment is unclear. AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Phe levels and time of initiation of a Phe-restricted diet in pregnant women with PKU on birth weight, head circumference and later development of their children...

The mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) disorders have many potential new therapies on the horizon. Thus, historic control data on disease progression and variability are urgently needed. We conducted a 10-year prospective observational study of 55 children with MPS IH (N=23), MPS IA (N=10), non-neuronopathic MPS II (N=13), and MPS VI (N=9) to systematically evaluate bone and joint disease. Annual measurements included height, weight, and goniometry. Mixed effects modeling was used to evaluate changes over time. All participants had been treated with hematopoietic cell transplantation and/or enzyme replacement therapy...

Oligosaccharidoses, sphingolipidoses and mucolipidoses are lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) in which defective breakdown of glycan-side chains of glycosylated proteins and glycolipids leads to the accumulation of incompletely degraded oligosaccharides within lysosomes. In metabolic laboratories, these disorders are commonly diagnosed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) but more recently also mass spectrometry-based approaches have been published. To expand the possibilities to screen for these diseases, we developed an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) with high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) mass spectrometry (MS) screening platform, together with an open-source iterative bioinformatics pipeline...

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) and Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease are inborn errors of metabolism that can both present with infantile-onset severe liver disease and other multisystemic manifestations. Plasma bile acid and N-palmitoyl-O-phosphocholineserine (PPCS) are screening biomarkers with proposed improved sensitivity and specificity for NPC. We report an infant with ATP6AP1-CDG who presented with cholestatic liver failure and elevated plasma oxysterols and bile acid, mimicking NPC clinically and biochemically...

Treatment of monogenic disorders has historically relied on symptomatic management with limited ability to target primary molecular deficits. However, recent advances in gene therapy and related technologies aim to correct these underlying deficiencies, raising the possibility of disease management or even prevention for diseases that can be treated pre-symptomatically. Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) would be one such candidate, however very little is known about the presymptomatic stage of TSD. To better understand the effects of TSD on brain development, we evaluated the transcriptomes of human fetal brain samples with biallelic pathogenic variants in HEXA...

Hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome has been known to be caused by dominant gain-of-function mutations in GLUD1, encoding the mitochondrial enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase. Pathogenic GLUD1 mutations enhance enzymatic activity by reducing its sensitivity to allosteric inhibition by GTP. Two recent independent studies showed that a similar HI/HA phenotype can be caused by biallelic mutations in SLC25A36, encoding pyrimidine nucleotide carrier 2 (PNC2), a mitochondrial nucleotide carrier that transports pyrimidine and guanine nucleotides across the inner mitochondrial membrane: one study reported a single case caused by a homozygous truncating mutation in SLC25A36 resulting in lack of expression of SLC25A36 in patients' fibroblasts...

In patients with ATP7A-related disorders, counseling is challenging due to clinical overlap between the entities, the absence of predictive biomarkers and a clear genotype-phenotype correlation. We performed a systematic literature review by querying the MEDLINE and Embase databases identifying 143 relevant papers. We recorded data on the phenotype and genotype in 162 individuals with a molecularly confirmed ATP7A-related disorder in order to identify differentiating clinical criteria, evaluate genotype-phenotype correlations and propose management guidelines...

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin, Cbl) is required as a cofactor by two human enzymes, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase (MTR) and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MMUT). Within the body, a vast array of transporters, enzymes and chaperones are required for the generation and delivery of these cofactor forms. How they perform these functions is dictated by the structure and interactions of the proteins involved, the molecular bases of which are only now being elucidated. In this review, we highlight recent insights into human Cbl metabolism and address open questions in the field by employing a protein structure and interactome based perspective...

OBJECTIVES: Mutations in the LPIN1 gene constitute a major cause of severe rhabdomyolysis (RM). The TLR9 activation prompted us to treat patients with corticosteroids in acute conditions. METHODS: In patients with LPIN1 mutations, RM and at-risk situations that can trigger RM have been treated in a uniform manner. Since 2015, these patients have also received intravenous corticosteroids. We retrospectively compared data on hospital stays by corticosteroid-treated patients vs...

Improved second-tier assays are needed to reduce the number of false positives in newborn screening (NBS) for inherited metabolic disorders including those on the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP). We developed an expanded metabolite panel for second-tier testing of dried blood spot (DBS) samples from screen-positive cases reported by the California NBS program, consisting of true- and false-positives from four disorders: glutaric acidemia type I (GA1), methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD), and very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD)...

ATP6AP1-CDG is an X-linked disorder typically characterized by hepatopathy, immunodeficiency and an abnormal type II transferrin glycosylation pattern. Here, we present eleven new patients and clinical updates with biochemical characterization on one previously reported patient. We also document intrafamilial phenotypic variability and atypical presentations, expanding the symptomatology of ATP6AP1-CDG to include dystonia, hepatocellular carcinoma and lysosomal abnormalities on hepatic histology. Three of our subjects received successful liver transplantation...

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a clinically and biochemically heterogenous subgroup of inherited metabolic disorders. Most CDG with abnormal N-glycosylation can be detected by transferrin screening, however, MOGS-CDG escapes this routine screening. Combined with the clinical heterogeneity of reported cases, diagnosing MOGS-CDG can be challenging. Here, we clinically characterize ten MOGS-CDG cases, six previously unreported individuals, showing a phenotype characterized by dysmorphic features, global developmental delay, muscular hypotonia, and seizures in all patients and in a minority vision problems and hypogammaglobulinemia...

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by α-L-iduronidase enzyme deficiency, resulting in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation in various cell types, including ocular tissues. Ocular manifestations in humans are common with significant pathological changes including corneal opacification, retinopathy, optic nerve swelling and atrophy, and glaucoma. Available treatments for MPS I are suboptimal and there is limited to no effect in treating the ocular disease. The goal of this study was to characterize the clinical and pathological features of ocular disease in a line of MPS I affected dogs, including changes not previously reported...

Organic acidurias, such as glutaric aciduria type 1, methylmalonic, and propionic aciduria (GA1, MMA, PA) are a prominent group of inherited metabolic diseases involving accumulation of eponymous metabolites causing endogenous intoxication. For all three conditions guidelines for diagnosis and management have been developed and revised over the last years, resulting in three revisions for GA1 and one revision for MMA/PA. The process of clinical guideline development in rare metabolic disorders is challenged by the scarcity and limited quality of evidence available...
