[Biochemical, clinical and genetic analysis of various aminoacidopathies (non-ketotic hyperglycemia, maple syrup urine disease, histidinemia, tyrosinemia)].

The genetical types were classified according to the clinical findings and biochemical results in cases of 13 newborn/children suffering from various aminoacidopathies. The genetical types were: 3 neonatal and 4 infantile types were found out of 7 non-ketotic disease (MSUD) patient was infantile type with 9.1 per cent keto acid decarboxylase activity in leukocyte homogenate. Among the 3 histidinemic patients 1 was severe neonatal type and 2 cases were chronic types. The 2 treated tyrosinemic children proved to be type III. (chronic with rickets).

Bicarnesine-treated carnitine deficient myopathy: clinico-chemical investigations.

Authors report on a Bicarnesine replacement therapy in an infant girl patient suffering from carnitine deficient myopathy diagnosed at 1 year of age. The hypotonic patient's motoric functions improved and she became able to walk as a result of therapy applied, but the pathological process generalized to encephalomyopathy. Free and esterified carnitine were determined from the serum and muscle biopsymaterial. After the Bicarnesine-supplementation the serum carnitine fractions elevated.
