Extractions: Co-written and edited by Dr Jim McGill, Director Metabolic Medicine, Royal Children's Hospital, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Urea Cycle Disorders Urea cycle disorders come in six different forms, each named after the missing or deficient enzyme. In normal protein metabolism, nitrogen (a waste product of protein metabolism) is converted to urea and removed from the body via urine. In these disorders, the deficiency of one of the above enzymes leads to a build up of nitrogen in the body, in the form of ammonia. High ammonia levels can cause brain damage or death. All except OTC are inherited as autosomal recessive traits (that is, both parents are carriers of the faulty gene and all their children have a one in four, or 25% chance of inheriting the condition). OTC is referred to as a sex-linked or X-linked trait, meaning the mothers are carriers. In this case, male offspring have a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder, female offspring will have a 50% chance of becoming carriers. Some female carriers may exhibit characteristics of the disorder, and can have problems after childbirth as there is so much protein breakdown as the uterus shrinks.

Together we can make a difference as we reach out and across to one another For Links and support group information, Please click here For low protein recipes see this site: Mansfield, MA 02048 Home Research Resources Disorders ... Disorders Homocystinuria Homocystinuria is a metabolic disorder caused by a defective enzyme (cystathionine synthetase) needed to digest the amino acid in protein called methionine. Once diagnosed, the initial treatment would be changing the baby formula to a special medical formula, which does not contain methionine. Along with the medical formula the child will maintain a low protein/low methionine diet for life. Some of the more dominant systems of HCU include mental retardation, ectopia lentis (dislocation of the lenses of the eye), osteoporosis, delays in reaching developmental milestones, the formation of blood clots that may lead to life-threatening complications.

Extractions: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) consists of benign, and sometimes malignant, tumors (often multiple in a tissue) of the parathyroids, enteropancreatic neuroendocrine system, anterior pituitary, and other tissues. Skin angiofibromas and skin collagenomas are common. Typically, MEN1 tumors begin two decades earlier than sporadic tumors. Because of tumor multiplicity and the tendency for postoperative tumor recurrence, specialized methods have been developed for preoperative and intraoperative localization of many MEN1-associated tumors. Hemochromatosis is an inherited disorder of the small intestine that causes a person to absorb too much iron from their food. Over time, iron builds to toxic levels and destroys many organs. Symptoms of toxic iron excess can differ greatly from person to person. Symptoms might include fatigue or depression, arthritis, impotence and infertility, diabetes, heart disease, and liver disease or liver cancer. Fortunately, early detection and treatment will prevent iron excess and its toxic effects. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is one of the most common and most devastating human genetic diseases. Affecting 1 in 3,500 live-born males, it is an X-linked recessive disorder which strikes all world populations equally. It shows a very high spontaneous mutation rate making most cases refractory to genetic screening. No therapies exist which are capable of slowing the lethal progression of the disease: boys first show overt weakness in early school years, show a steady loss of muscle tissue, are wheel-chair-bound by age 14 yrs., and succumb to respiratory failure by age 20 unless ventilated.
