    A neurodegenerative mitochondrial disease phenotype due to biallelic loss-of-function variants in PNPLA8 encoding calcium-independent phospholipase A2γ.
    Am J Med Genet A 2018 May;176(5):1232-1237
    Department of Medical Genetics, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India.
    Animal studies have demonstrated the critical roles of the patatin-like protein family plays in cellular growth, lipid homeostasis, and second messenger signaling the nervous system. Of the nine known calcium-independent phospholipase A2γ, only PNPLA2, PNLPA6, PNPLA9 and most recently a single patient with PNPLA8 are associated with mitochondrial-related neurodegeneration. Using whole exome sequencing, we report two unrelated individuals with variable but similar clinical features of microcephaly, severe global developmental delay, spasticity, lactic acidosis, and progressive cerebellar atrophy with biallelic loss-of-function variants in PNPLA8.

    Herz- und Diabeteszentrum NRW, Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum, Georgstrasse 11, 32545 Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.
    Due to a lack of reference values for blood concentration of metformin in the literature, the forensic evaluation of metformin findings in blood samples is difficult. Interpretations with regard to the assessment of blood concentrations as well as an estimation of the ingested metformin amounts are often vague. Furthermore, post mortem evaluation of death due to lactic acidosis because of metformin is difficult since renal performance or lactate concentrations can not always reliably be determined after death.

    Division of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, College of Pharmacy (M.F.R., R.R., R.G.) and Translational Therapeutics, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (R.G.), The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio
    Combination antiretroviral drug treatments depend on 3'-deoxy-nucleoside analogs such as 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) and 2'3'-dideoxyinosine (DDI). Despite being effective in inhibiting human immunodeficiency virus replication, these drugs produce a range of toxicities, including myopathy, pancreatitis, neuropathy, and lactic acidosis, that are generally considered as sequelae to mitochondrial damage. Although cell surface-localized nucleoside transporters, such as human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 (hENT2) and human concentrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hCNT1), are known to increase the carrier-mediated uptake of 3'-deoxy-nucleoside analogs into cells, another ubiquitously expressed intracellular nucleoside transporter (namely, hENT3) has been implicated in the mitochondrial transport of 3'-deoxy-nucleoside analogs.

    Hyperammonemia and lactic acidosis in adults: Differential diagnoses with a focus on inborn errors of metabolism.
    Rev Endocr Metab Disord 2018 Mar 1. Epub 2018 Mar 1.
    Department of Genetic Medicine, Westmead Hospital, Westmead, NSW, Australia.
    The adult endocrinologist may be asked to consult on a patient for unexplained biochemical disturbances that could be caused by an underlying inborn error of metabolism. A genetic disorder is generally less likely to be the cause as these disorders are individually rare, however inborn errors of metabolism are collectively not infrequent and important to consider as they may be treatable and tragic outcomes avoided. Hyperammonemia or lactic acidosis are most often secondary markers of an acquired primary disease process, but they may be a clue to the presence of a genetic disorder. Read More

    Wet beriberi with multiple organ failure remarkably reversed by thiamine administration: A case report and literature review.
    Medicine (Baltimore) 2018 Mar;97(9):e0010
    Department of Critical Care Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China.
    Rationale: Circulatory failure, especially with low systemic vascular resistance (SVR), as observed in septic shock, thyrotoxicosis, and anemia, is a particular pattern that should suggest thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. The clinical picture of wet beriberi secondary to thiamine deficiency only demonstrates non-specific clinical manifestations. For a diagnosis of wet beriberi, medical history is very important.
