Intronic antisense Alu elements have a negative splicing effect on the inclusion of adjacent downstream exons
Alu elements occupy 10% of the human genome. However, although they contribute to genomic and transcriptomic diversity, their function is still not fully understood. We hypothesized that intronic Alu elements may contribute to alternative splicing. We therefore examined their effect on splicing using minigene constructs including exon 9-exon 11 inclusive of ACAT1 with truncated introns 9 and 10. These constructs ... Read more

Recent advances in understanding beta-ketothiolase (mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, T2) deficiency
Beta-ketothiolase (mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, T2) deficiency (OMIM #203750, *607809) is an inborn error of metabolism that affects isoleucine catabolism and ketone body metabolism. This disorder is clinically characterized by intermittent ketoacidotic crises under ketogenic stresses. In addition to a previous 26-case series, four series of T2-deficient patients were recently reported from different regions. In these series, most T2-deficient patients developed ... Read more

Heterozygous carriers of succinyl-CoA:3-oxoacid CoA transferase deficiency can develop severe ketoacidosis
Succinyl-CoA:3-oxoacid CoA transferase (SCOT, gene symbol _OXCT1_) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder in ketone body utilization that results in severe recurrent ketoacidotic episodes in infancy, including neonatal periods. More than 30 patients with this disorder have been reported and to our knowledge, their heterozygous parents and siblings have had no apparent ketoacidotic episodes. Over 5 years (2008–2012), we investigated ... Read more

Characterization and outcome of 41 patients with beta-ketothiolase deficiency: 10 years' experience of a medical center in northern Vietnam
Beta-ketothiolase (T2) deficiency is an inherited disease of isoleucine and ketone body metabolism caused by mutations in the _ACAT1_ gene. Between 2005 and 2016, a total of 41 patients with T2 deficiency were identified at a medical center in northern Vietnam, with an estimated incidence of one in 190,000 newborns. Most patients manifested ketoacidotic episodes of varying severity between 6 ... Read more

Two Libyan siblings with beta-ketothiolase deficiency: A case report and review of literature
Beta-ketothiolase (mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, T2) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired metabolism of ketones and isoleucine. In this study, we report on the first two siblings with T2 deficiency from Libya. Both siblings presented with ketoacidosis, but the severity and outcomes were quite distinctive. T2 deficiency in patient 1, the younger sister, manifested as recurrent severe episodes ... Read more

Clinical and Mutational Characterizations of Ten Indian Patients with Beta-Ketothiolase Deficiency
Beta-ketothiolase deficiency (mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (T2) deficiency) is an inherited disease of isoleucine catabolism and ketone body utilization caused by _ACAT1_ mutations. We identified ten Indian patients who manifested with ketoacidotic episodes of variable severity. The patients showed increased urinary excretion of isoleucine-catabolic intermediates: 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate, 2-methylacetoacetate, and tiglylglycine. Six patients had a favorable outcome, one died, and three developed neurodevelopmental ... Read more

A novel mutation (c.121 13T>A) in the polypyrimidine tract of the splice acceptor site of intron 2 causes exon 3 skipping in mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase gene
Mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (T2) (gene symbol: ACAT1) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting isoleucine catabolism and ketone body utilization. In this study, mutational analysis of an Indian T2-deficient patient revealed a homozygous mutation (c.121‑13T>A) located at the polypyrimidine tract of the splice acceptor site of intron 2, and exon 3 skipping was identified by cDNA analysis using cycloheximide. We ... Read more

A single nucleotide substitution T to A in the poly-pyrimidine stretch at splice acceptor site of intron 9 causes exon 10 skipping in ACAT1 gene
BACKGROUND β‐ketothiolase (T2, gene symbol _ACAT1_) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder, affecting isoleucine and ketone body metabolism. We encountered a patient (GK03) with T2 deficiency whose T2 mRNA level was A in the polypyrimidine stretch at the splice acceptor site of intron 9 of _ACAT1_. Initially, we regarded this variant as not being disease‐causing by a method of predicting ... Read more

Exon 10 skipping in ACAT1 caused by a novel c.949G>A mutation located at an exonic splice enhancer site
Beta-ketothiolase deficiency, also known as mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (T2) deficiency, is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the acetyl‑CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) gene. A German T2‑deficient patient that developed a severe ketoacidotic episode at the age of 11 months, was revealed to be a compound heterozygote of a previously reported null mutation, c.472A>G (p.N158D) and a novel mutation, ...

Effectiveness of Medium-Chain Triglyceride Oil Therapy in Two Japanese Citrin-Deficient Siblings: Evaluation Using Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests
Citrin deficiency, an inherited defect of the liver-type mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carrier isoform (citrin), may cause impairment of glycolysis because of an increase in the cytosolic NADH/NAD+ ratio. We report a Japanese boy whose main complaint was recurrent hypoglycemic episodes. He was suspected as having citrin deficiency because of his peculiar preference for protein- and fat-rich food. His young sister also ... Read more
