Kwasica izowalerianowa
Etiologia i przyczyny

Kwasica izowalerianowa (IVA) to rzadkie, autosomalnie recesywne zaburzenie metaboliczne spowodowane mutacjami w genie IVD, prowadzące do niedoboru enzymu dehydrogenazy izowalerylo-CoA. Skutkuje to zaburzeniem metabolizmu leucyny i akumulacją toksycznych metabolitów, takich jak kwas izowalerianowy, kwas 3-hydroksyizowalerianowy, izowalerylokarnityna (C5) oraz izowaleryloglicyna (IVG), które wykazują działanie neurotoksyczne. Choroba manifestuje się w różnych fenotypach: ostrej postaci noworodkowej z ciężką kwasicą metaboliczną, encefalopatią, leukopenią, neutropenią i trombocytopenią, przewlekłej postaci przerywanej z napadowymi epizodami dekompensacji metabolicznej oraz łagodnej, często bezobjawowej formie wykrywanej w badaniach przesiewowych noworodków. Częstość występowania IVA wynosi około 1:230 000 urodzeń w USA, z różnicami regionalnymi (np. 1:62 500 w Niemczech). Diagnostyka opiera się na podwyższonym poziomie C5-karnityny w surowicy oraz obecności charakterystycznych metabolitów w moczu, potwierdzana badaniami molekularnymi genu IVD. Wczesne rozpoznanie i leczenie, zwłaszcza dzięki badaniom przesiewowym noworodków, znacząco poprawiają rokowanie i zmniejszają ryzyko uszkodzenia mózgu.

Etiologia kwasicy izowalerianowej

Kwasica izowalerianowa (IVA, ang. isovaleric acidemia) jest rzadkim, dziedziczonym autosomalnie recesywnie zaburzeniem metabolicznym, które wpływa na prawidłowy rozkład aminokwasu leucyny. Choroba ta należy do klasycznych organicznych acydemii i charakteryzuje się niezdolnością organizmu do prawidłowego metabolizmu białek12. Szacuje się, że częstość występowania kwasicy izowalerianowej wynosi około 1 na 230 000 żywych urodzeń w Stanach Zjednoczonych, choć różni się w zależności od regionu geograficznego – przykładowo w Niemczech jest to 1:62 500, a na Tajwanie 1:365 000 urodzeń34.

Podłoże genetyczne

Kwasica izowalerianowa jest spowodowana mutacjami w genie IVD (isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase), zlokalizowanym na chromosomie 15q15.156. Gen IVD dostarcza instrukcje do wytwarzania enzymu dehydrogenazy izowalerylo-CoA (IVD), który odgrywa kluczową rolę w rozkładaniu białek pochodzących z diety. Konkretnie, enzym ten uczestniczy w przetwarzaniu aminokwasu leucyny, który jest składnikiem wielu białek7. Dotychczas opisano ponad 70 heterogennych mutacji w genie IVD u pacjentów z kwasicą izowalerianową8.

Jeśli mutacja w genie IVD zmniejsza lub eliminuje aktywność tego enzymu, organizm nie jest w stanie prawidłowo rozkładać leucyny. W rezultacie kwas izowalerianowy i związane z nim związki gromadzą się do szkodliwych poziomów w organizmie, co prowadzi do uszkodzenia mózgu i układu nerwowego, powodując poważne problemy zdrowotne910.

Wzorzec dziedziczenia

Kwasica izowalerianowa jest dziedziczona w sposób autosomalny recesywny, co oznacza, że ​​obie kopie genu w każdej komórce mają mutacje11. Rodzice osoby z autosomalnym recesywnym schorzeniem są zazwyczaj nosicielami jednej kopii zmutowanego genu, ale zwykle nie wykazują objawów choroby12. Dziecko musi otrzymać 2 kopie zmutowanego genu, aby rozwinęła się choroba – 1 od matki i 1 od ojca. Jeśli dziecko otrzyma tylko 1 dotknięty gen, będzie tylko nosicielem IVA i samo nie będzie miało tego schorzenia13.

Ryzyko posiadania dziecka z kwasicą izowalerianową dla dwojga rodziców będących nosicielami wynosi 25% przy każdej ciąży1415. Rodzeństwo od tych samych rodziców ma 1 na 4 szansę na zachorowanie na IVA. Co istotne, inne dzieci mogą być narażone na IVA, nawet jeśli nigdy nie wykazywały żadnych objawów, dlatego ważne jest ich przebadanie, jeśli wcześniej nie były badane pod kątem IVA16.

Mechanizm biochemiczny

W kwasicy izowalerianowej występuje defekt enzymu dehydrogenazy izowalerylo-CoA (IVD), niezbędnego do prawidłowego metabolizmu leucyny17. Normalnie leucyna jest rozkładana do substancji zwanej kwasem izowalerianowym, który następnie przekształca się w energię. U dzieci z IVA brakuje enzymu, który rozkłada kwas izowalerianowy, co prowadzi do szkodliwie wysokiego poziomu tej substancji w organizmie18.

Z powodu bloku metabolicznego dochodzi do akumulacji izowalerylo-CoA, a patognomoniczny metabolit izowalerylo-glicyna powstaje przez sprzężenie izowalerylo-CoA z grupą aminową glicyny19. W konsekwencji następuje gromadzenie się pochodnych izowalerylo-CoA, w tym wolnego kwasu izowalerianowego, kwasu 3-hydroksyizowalerianowego, izowalerylokarnityny (C5) i izowaleryloglicyny (IVG), które mogą częściowo wykazywać działanie neurotoksyczne2021.

Mechanizm toksyczności kwasu izowalerianowego nie jest do końca poznany, ale wiadomo, że jest on inhibitorem ligazy sukcynylo-CoA w cyklu kwasów trikarboksylowych i hamuje wątrobowe (ale nie mięśniowe) mitochondrialne zużycie tlenu z kwasami glutaminowym, 2-oksoglutarowym i bursztynowym. Kwas izowalerianowy hamuje również proliferację komórek progenitorowych granulopoetycznych w hodowlach szpiku kostnego z połowicznym maksymalnym hamowaniem przy stężeniu 1,6 mM, co może tłumaczyć neutropenię często obserwowaną w kwasicy izowalerianowej22.

Typy kwasicy izowalerianowej

Kwasica izowalerianowa może manifestować się klinicznie w różny sposób. Zidentyfikowano kilka fenotypów tej choroby, które różnią się czasem wystąpienia objawów, ich nasileniem i rokowaniem23.

Ostra postać noworodkowa

Pierwsza postać to ostra prezentacja noworodkowa, w której pacjenci stają się objawowi w ciągu pierwszych dwóch tygodni życia24. Charakteryzuje się ciężką kwasicą metaboliczną i encefalopatią, często z towarzyszącą leukopenią, neutropenią, trombocytopenią, zaburzeniami elektrolitowymi oraz hipo- lub hiperglikemią25. W obrazie klinicznym dominują: wymioty, letarg, śpiączka, drgawki i charakterystyczny zapach „spoconych stóp” spowodowany nagromadzeniem kwasu izowalerianowego2627.

Śmiertelność w grupie wczesnego rozpoznania wynosiła 33% podczas początkowego epizodu ciężkiej kwasicy metabolicznej. W grupie wczesnego rozpoznania średni wiek wystąpienia objawów, zgłaszany dla 55 z 81 przypadków, wynosił 6,8 dnia28.

Przewlekła postać przerywana

Druga grupa prezentuje stosunkowo niespecyficzne zaburzenia wzrastania i/lub opóźnienie rozwoju (przewlekła prezentacja przerywana)2930. Pacjenci mogą doświadczać napadowych zaburzeń metabolicznych oraz epizodów dekompensacji metabolicznej spowodowanych stresem katabolicznym31. W rzeczywistości pacjenci mogą znajdować się w dowolnym miejscu spektrum od ostrej do przewlekłej prezentacji i prawdopodobnie początkowa prezentacja ma niewielką wartość predykcyjną32.

Postać bezobjawowa (łagodna)

Wraz z zastosowaniem spektrometrii masowej (MS/MS) w badaniach przesiewowych noworodków coraz częściej identyfikuje się potencjalnie bezobjawowych pacjentów z jedną nawracającą mutacją genu IVD i łagodnym fenotypem biochemicznym, co stanowi dodatkowy fenotyp kwasicy izowalerianowej3334.

Szczególnie jedna mutacja punktowa, 932C>T (A282V), jest wyjątkowo częsta u pacjentów zidentyfikowanych poprzez badania przesiewowe noworodków z łagodnym podwyższeniem metabolitów i którzy pozostali bezobjawowi do tej pory35. Przed badaniami przesiewowymi noworodków ta mutacja została zidentyfikowana tylko u jednego pacjenta z łagodnym niedoborem IVD, pierwotnie ocenianego pod kątem zaburzenia tikowego i niewielkiego opóźnienia rozwoju36.

Wariant 932C>T (p.A282V), występujący w stanie homozygotycznym lub heterozygotycznym złożonym, jest związany z tą „łagodną” formą IVA37. U osób z tą postacią ryzyko wystąpienia problemów jest znacznie niższe niż u osób z poważniejszym wariantem tego zaburzenia38.

Korelacja genotyp-fenotyp

Korelacja między fenotypem a genotypem u pacjentów z kwasicą izowalerianową nie jest do końca jasna, a rodzeństwo noszące ten sam wariant wykazywało bardzo różne fenotypy39. Badania wykazały, że dwa gorące regiony dystrybucji patogennych wariantów u pacjentów objawowych (w tym typu ostrego noworodkowego i przewlekłego przerywanego) znajdowały się w regionach 123-159 i 356-403, podczas gdy dystrybucja u pacjentów bezobjawowych znajdowała się głównie w regionie 282-31840.

Warianty c.932C>T (p.Ala282Val) i c.941C>T (p.Ala314Val) były powszechne u pacjentów bezobjawowych i pacjentów z badań przesiewowych noworodków, którzy pozostali bezobjawowi w okresie obserwacji. Wskazuje to, że warianty w pierwszych dwóch regionach są wysoce patogenne, podczas gdy skoncentrowana dystrybucja wariantów z fenotypem bezobjawowym wskazuje, że warianty aminokwasów są łagodniejsze patogenicznie41.

Istotne jest, że intensywność lub nawet konieczność leczenia osób zdiagnozowanych poprzez badania przesiewowe noworodków i noszących częstą mutację 932C>T (A282V) jest niejasna. W szczególności potencjał dekompensacji metabolicznej w warunkach stresu pozostaje do wyjaśnienia. Osoby te powinny być obserwowane klinicznie, szczególnie gdy są narażone na stresory metaboliczne, takie jak choroby gorączkowe lub głodzenie (np. podczas operacji)42.

Znaczna część zmutowanych alleli IVD sekwencjonowanych od niemowląt zdiagnozowanych poprzez badania przesiewowe noworodków zawierała powszechną nawracającą mutację missensową (932C>T; A282V)43. W przeciwieństwie do ciężkich postaci IVA, wciąż nie jest pewne, czy osoby z łagodnym typem mają chorobę, ryzyko manifestacji klinicznej, czy po prostu wyrażają klinicznie nieistotny fenotyp biochemiczny. Choć osoby te mogą mieć normalną homeostazę leucyny w warunkach fizjologicznych, ich ryzyko dekompensacji metabolicznej w warunkach stresu pozostaje do wyjaśnienia44.

Czynniki wywołujące

Kilka czynników może wyzwalać epizody kwasicy izowalerianowej, w tym infekcje i duże spożycie żywności bogatej w białko45. Przedłużone okresy bez jedzenia, głodzenie, infekcje lub spożywanie większej ilości pokarmów bogatych w białko mogą powodować poważne problemy zdrowotne u tych dzieci46.

W obu postaciach IVA ostre epizody dekompensacji metabolicznej mogą pojawić się podczas stanów katabolicznych z powodu zaburzeń metabolizmu białek i kwasów tłuszczowych, infekcji, głodzenia i innych stresorów fizjologicznych47. Pacjenci z IVA wymagający zabiegu chirurgicznego stanowią również różne wyzwania dotyczące wyboru znieczulenia, ponieważ niektóre środki znieczulające mogą wywoływać kryzysy metaboliczne, w tym złe odżywianie, zaburzenia elektrolitowe, przedłużone okresy głodzenia i inne formy stresu48.

Przyczynami kryzysu metabolicznego mogą być infekcje, takie jak zaburzenia żołądkowe lub choroba z wymiotami49. Ostry kryzys metaboliczny u pacjenta z IVA jest prawie zawsze wywołany czynnikiem stresowym, takim jak infekcja, uraz, operacja, zmiany hormonalne lub znaczące zmiany w diecie (związane ze zwiększonym spożyciem białka). Niezwykle ważne jest zidentyfikowanie i zajęcie się czynnikiem wywołującym dekompensację metaboliczną pacjenta. Leczenie czynnika stresu ułatwi leczenie zaburzeń metabolicznych50.

Konsekwencje biochemiczne

W ostrych chorobach w IVA kwas izowalerianowy i jego pochodne gromadzą się, a następuje głęboka kwasica metaboliczna (z powodu produkcji ciał ketonowych i gromadzenia się kwasów organicznych), hipoglikemia i hiperamonemia51.

Patogeneza choroby nie jest jeszcze w pełni zrozumiana. Mechanizmy, które prawdopodobnie są zaangażowane, obejmują indukcję stresu oksydacyjnego przez gromadzenie się metabolitów, jak obserwowano w korze mózgu szczura, zmniejszenie aktywności Na+, K+-ATPazy przez wolny kwas izowalerianowy, jak wykazano w błonach synaptycznych z kory mózgowej u młodych szczurów, oraz nieprawidłową komórkową sygnalizację wzrostu poprzez aktywację kompleksu 1 ssaczego celu rapamycyny (mTORC1), jak sugerują badania z ludzkimi komórkami z niedoborem IVD52.

Kwas izowalerianowy jest inhibitorem proliferacji komórek progenitorowych granulopoetycznych w hodowlach szpiku kostnego z połowicznym maksymalnym hamowaniem przy 1,6 mM, co może tłumaczyć neutropenię często obserwowaną w kwasicy izowalerianowej53.

Charakterystyczny zapach „spoconych stóp” powodowany przez kwas izowalerianowy jest często zauważany podczas kryzysu metabolicznego54. Typowe objawy kliniczne to ciężka kwasica metaboliczna i encefalopatia, często z towarzyszącą leukopenią, neutropenią i trombocytopenią z powodu supresji szpiku kostnego i innych nieprawidłowości układu krwiotwórczego w okresie noworodkowym, a także może wystąpić hipokalcemia, hiperglikemia, śpiączka i śmierć, jeśli odpowiednie leczenie nie zostanie rozpoczęte55.

Metody diagnostyczne

Kwasica izowalerianowa może być wykrywana za pomocą różnych metod diagnostycznych, przy czym badania przesiewowe noworodków odgrywają coraz ważniejszą rolę w jej wczesnym rozpoznaniu56.

Badania przesiewowe noworodków

Większość pacjentów z IVA jest dziś diagnozowana przedobjawowo poprzez badania przesiewowe noworodków przy użyciu MS/MS, które ujawniają podwyższenie markera metabolitu C5 acylkarnityny w suchych plamach krwi57. Możliwość uniknięcia wczesnej śmiertelności i poprawy wyników neurokognitywnych poprzez wczesną diagnozę i leczenie zachęca do diagnostyki przedobjawowej i wzmacnia kwalifikację IVA do badań przesiewowych noworodków58.

Badania przesiewowe w kierunku kwasicy izowalerianowej obejmują analizę spektrometrii masowej tandemowej suchej próbki krwi59. Możliwość przedobjawowej diagnozy poprzez badania przesiewowe noworodków i widoczna korzyść, która została wykazana u pacjentów wcześnie zdiagnozowanych i leczonych, czynią IVA idealnym kandydatem do programów badań przesiewowych noworodków60.

Markery biochemiczne

Specjalne testy na próbkach krwi, moczu lub skóry mogą potwierdzić IVA61. Diagnoza IVA opiera się zwykle na wykryciu typowych metabolitów izowalerylo-CoA w analizach kwasów organicznych w moczu i podwyższonych poziomów C5-karnityny (izowalerylokarnityny) we krwi oraz w analizie molekularnej62.

Z powodu niedoboru IVD dochodzi do akumulacji pochodnych izowalerylo-koenzymu A (CoA), metabolitu przed blokiem, takich jak kwas izowalerianowy, kwas 3-hydroksyizowalerianowy, izowalerylo (C5)-karnityna i izowaleryloglicyna (IVG)63.

Badania genetyczne

Badania genetyczne w kierunku IVA można wykonać na próbce krwi64. Testy te mogą zidentyfikować konkretną mutację w genie IVD, która powoduje tę chorobę.

Badania molekularne genu IVD od pacjentów z IVA pozwoliły scharakteryzować różne typy mutacji w tym genie65. Mutacje w genie IVD mogą być mutacjami punktowymi lub dużymi delecjami i insercjami. Około 60% dotkniętych pacjentów wykazuje utratę funkcji enzymu, podczas gdy pozostałe 40% nie ma absolutnie żadnej produkcji enzymu66.

Znaczenie wczesnej diagnozy

Wczesna diagnoza i rozpoczęcie leczenia ma kluczowe znaczenie dla poprawy rokowania pacjentów z kwasicą izowalerianową67.

Bez wczesnej diagnozy i leczenia dzieci mogą rozwinąć poważną chorobę i uszkodzenie mózgu68. Jeśli kwasica izowalerianowa nie jest leczona, może powodować drgawki, uszkodzenie mózgu i śmierć. Jednak jeśli stan zostanie wcześnie wykryty i rozpocznie się odpowiednie leczenie, nasilenie objawów można zmniejszyć69.

Wynik neurokognitywny u pacjentów, którzy przeżyli z objawami noworodkowymi i wczesnym rozpoczęciem leczenia, jest bardziej korzystny niż u pacjentów z późną diagnozą. Wiek w momencie diagnozy, ale nie liczba epizodów katabolicznych, ma wpływ na wynik neurokognitywny70. Potencjał uniknięcia wczesnej śmiertelności i poprawy wyników neurokognitywnych poprzez wczesną diagnozę i leczenie zachęca do diagnostyki przedobjawowej i wzmacnia kwalifikację IVA do badań przesiewowych noworodków71.

Wczesna wczesna diagnoza i wykrywanie chorób metabolicznych o podłożu genetycznym może poprawić wyniki leczenia pacjentów72. Wczesna identyfikacja IVA za pomocą cech klinicznych może znacząco spowolnić postęp choroby i zmniejszyć śmiertelność73.

Z wczesnym wykryciem IVA rokowanie i jakość życia znacznie się poprawia74. Pacjenci z IVA mają trudności z karmieniem i wymioty prowadzące do odwodnienia i kwasicy z ryzykiem aspiracji. Przedłużone głodzenie i stres chirurgiczny powodują dalszą dekompensację75.

Rozpowszechnienie i zmienność geograficzna

Kwasica izowalerianowa jest chorobą rzadką, ale jej częstość występowania różni się w zależności od regionu geograficznego.

Około jednego na 230 000 niemowląt w Stanach Zjednoczonych rodzi się z IVA76. Jednak częstość występowania różni się w zależności od kraju i regionu. Przykładowo, IVA jest stosunkowo rzadka, z częstością występowania 1:250 000, 1:365 000 i 1:62 500 urodzeń odpowiednio w Stanach Zjednoczonych, na Tajwanie i w Niemczech77.

Kwasica izowalerianowa jest rzadką autosomalną recesywną chorobą metaboliczną o zachorowalności 1 na 2 lakhs78. IVA nie występuje częściej w żadnej konkretnej rasie, grupie etnicznej, obszarze geograficznym ani kraju79.

Gorące punkty dla patogennych wariantów zależą od pochodzenia etnicznego i regionu. Warianty c.1199A>G (p.Tyr371Cys) i c.1208A>G (p.Tyr403Cys) są powszechne wśród populacji Han w Chinach80.

Badania i przyszłe kierunki

Trwają badania nad lepszym zrozumieniem kwasicy izowalerianowej i opracowaniem skuteczniejszych metod leczenia.

Lepsze zrozumienie heterogeniczności tej choroby i znaczenia korelacji genotyp/fenotyp dla klinicznego zarządzania pacjentami należy do wyzwań pozostających w badaniach tego zaburzenia w nadchodzących latach81. Prowadzone są badania nad terapią genową, które dają wielką nadzieję na przyszłe leczenie IVA i innych zaburzeń metabolicznych82.

Istnieją również badania nad mechanizmami patogenezy choroby. Mechanizmy, które prawdopodobnie są zaangażowane, obejmują indukcję stresu oksydacyjnego przez gromadzenie się metabolitów, jak obserwowano w korze mózgu szczura, zmniejszenie aktywności Na+, K+-ATPazy przez wolny kwas izowalerianowy, jak wykazano w błonach synaptycznych z kory mózgowej u młodych szczurów, oraz nieprawidłową komórkową sygnalizację wzrostu poprzez aktywację kompleksu 1 ssaczego celu rapamycyny (mTORC1), jak sugerują badania z ludzkimi komórkami z niedoborem IVD83.

Millington i wsp. rozróżnili źródła dietetyczne i endogenne nieprawidłowego metabolizmu oraz dokładny wkład w toksyczność w chorobie. Obrót endogennych białek, a nie dieta, został potwierdzony jako produkcja toksycznych metabolitów w IVA. Dlatego supresja endogennego katabolizmu, a nie ograniczenia dietetyczne, została jednoznacznie uznana za bardziej skuteczną terapię84.

Konieczność jakiegokolwiek leczenia osób zdiagnozowanych poprzez badania przesiewowe noworodków i noszących powszechną mutację 932C>T (A282V) jest niejasna85. Istnieją również badania nad nowymi metodami diagnostycznymi i leczniczymi, które mogą pomóc poprawić opiekę nad pacjentami z IVA w przyszłości.

Podsumowanie

Kwasica izowalerianowa jest rzadkim, dziedziczonym autosomalnie recesywnie zaburzeniem metabolicznym spowodowanym mutacjami w genie IVD, prowadzącymi do niedoboru enzymu dehydrogenazy izowalerylo-CoA. Skutkuje to nieprawidłowym metabolizmem leucyny, co prowadzi do gromadzenia się toksycznych metabolitów, w tym kwasu izowalerianowego, który może uszkadzać mózg i układ nerwowy.

Choroba może manifestować się w różnych postaciach klinicznych, od ostrej noworodkowej przez przewlekłą przerywaną po łagodną bezobjawową. Korelacja genotyp-fenotyp nie jest w pełni zrozumiała, jednak zidentyfikowano pewne mutacje związane z łagodniejszymi formami choroby.

Wczesna diagnoza, szczególnie poprzez badania przesiewowe noworodków, i odpowiednie leczenie mają kluczowe znaczenie dla poprawy rokowania pacjentów z IVA. Chociaż nie ma obecnie skutecznego leczenia przyczynowego, przestrzeganie diety o ograniczonej zawartości białka oraz suplementacja glicyną i karnityną mogą pomóc w kontrolowaniu choroby i zapobieganiu ostrym kryzysom metabolicznym.

Badania nad lepszym zrozumieniem mechanizmów patogenetycznych choroby, korelacji genotyp-fenotyp oraz potencjalnych nowych metod leczenia, w tym terapii genowej, mogą przyczynić się do poprawy opieki nad pacjentami z kwasicą izowalerianową w przyszłości.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isovaleric_acidemia
    Isovaleric acidemia is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder which disrupts or prevents normal metabolism of the branched-chain amino acid leucine. It is a classical type of organic acidemia. […] Mutations in both copies of the IVD gene result in isovaleric acidemia. […] The enzyme encoded by IVD, isovaleric acid-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.10), plays an essential role in breaking down proteins from the diet. Specifically, the enzyme is responsible for the third step in processing leucine, an essential amino acid. If a mutation in the IVD gene reduces or eliminates the activity of this enzyme, the body is unable to break down leucine properly. As a result, isovaleric acid and related compounds build up to toxic levels, damaging the brain and nervous system.

    https://www.medlink.com/articles/isovaleric-acidemia
    Isovaleric acidemia is caused by a deficiency of isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase, an enzyme located proximally in the catabolic pathway of the essential branched-chain amino acid leucine. […] Isovaleric acidemia is an inborn error of leucine metabolism that results from a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase, which is caused by a homozygous mutation in the isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase gene on chromosome 15q15.1. […] Isovaleric acidemia is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. […] Both clinical presentations, acute neonatal and infantile chronic-episodic, may be found within the same family and, thus, are determined by other genes or nongenetic factors. […] Due to the metabolic block, isovaleryl-CoA accumulates, and the pathognomonic metabolite isovalerylglycine is formed by conjugation of isovaleryl-CoA to the amino group of glycine.

  • #7 Isovaleric Acidemia | Encyclopedia MDPI
    https://encyclopedia.pub/entry/4194
    Isovaleric acidemia is a rare disorder in which the body is unable to properly break down a particular protein building block (amino acid). […] Mutations in the IVD gene cause isovaleric acidemia. The IVD gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that plays an essential role in breaking down proteins from the diet. Specifically, this enzyme helps process the amino acid leucine, which is part of many proteins. If a mutation in the IVD gene reduces or eliminates the activity of this enzyme, the body is unable to break down leucine properly. As a result, an organic acid called isovaleric acid and related compounds build up to harmful levels in the body. This buildup damages the brain and nervous system, causing serious health problems. […] This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isovaleric_acidemia
    Isovaleric acidemia is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder which disrupts or prevents normal metabolism of the branched-chain amino acid leucine. It is a classical type of organic acidemia. […] Mutations in both copies of the IVD gene result in isovaleric acidemia. […] The enzyme encoded by IVD, isovaleric acid-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.10), plays an essential role in breaking down proteins from the diet. Specifically, the enzyme is responsible for the third step in processing leucine, an essential amino acid. If a mutation in the IVD gene reduces or eliminates the activity of this enzyme, the body is unable to break down leucine properly. As a result, isovaleric acid and related compounds build up to toxic levels, damaging the brain and nervous system.

    Isovaleric acidaemia (IVA) is a rare, but potentially serious, inherited condition. It means the body can’t process the amino acid leucine (amino acids are „building blocks” of protein). This causes a harmful build-up of the substance in the blood and urine. […] Babies with IVA are unable to fully break down the amino acid leucine. […] Normally, leucine is broken down into a substance called isovaleric acid, which is then converted into energy. Babies with IVA don’t have the enzyme that breaks down isovaleric acid, leading to a harmfully high level of this substance in the body. […] The genetic change (mutation) responsible for IVA is passed on by the parents, who usually don’t have any symptoms of the condition. […] A baby needs to receive 2 copies of the mutated gene to develop the condition 1 from their mother and 1 from their father (known as autosomal recessive inheritance). If the baby only receives 1 affected gene, they’ll just be a carrier of IVA and won’t have the condition themselves.

    Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is known as one of the „classical” organic acidemias/acidurias. It is caused by a genetic deficiency of isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVD) catalyzing the third step in leucine catabolism. The enzyme defect results in the accumulation of derivatives of isovaleryl-CoA including free isovaleric acid, 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid, isovaleryl (C5)-carnitine, and isovalerylglycine (IVG) which partly may exert neurotoxicity. […] The clinical presentation of IVA appears to be highly variable ranging from severely affected to asymptomatic subjects. It may present either in the neonatal period as an acute episode of fulminant metabolic acidosis which may lead to coma and death („acute neonatal form”) or later as a „chronic intermittent form” associated with developmental delay, with or without recurrent acidotic episodes during catabolic stress.

A significant proportion of the mutant IVD alleles sequenced from infants diagnosed by newborn screening have been found to contain a common recurring missense mutation (932CT; A282V). […] The mechanism of the toxicity of isovaleric acid is not known, but it is an inhibitor of succinyl-CoA ligase in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and inhibits liver but not muscle mitochondrial oxygen consumption with glutamic, 2-oxoglutaric, and succinic acids. Isovaleric acid is an inhibitor of granulopoietic progenitor cell proliferation in bone marrow cultures with half-maximal inhibition at 1.6 mM, and this may account for the neutropenia frequently seen in isovaleric acidemia.

    Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The gene encoding isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase has been cloned and localized to chromosome 15 (15q14-15), and multiple disease-causing mutations have been identified. A significant proportion of the mutant IVD alleles sequenced from infants diagnosed by newborn screening have been found to contain a common recurring missense mutation (932CT; A282V). […] The mechanism of the toxicity of isovaleric acid is not known, but it is an inhibitor of succinyl-CoA ligase in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and inhibits liver but not muscle mitochondrial oxygen consumption with glutamic, 2-oxoglutaric, and succinic acids. Isovaleric acid is an inhibitor of granulopoietic progenitor cell proliferation in bone marrow cultures with half-maximal inhibition at 1.6 mM, and this may account for the neutropenia frequently seen in isovaleric acidemia.

    Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is a rare condition that children can inherit from both their biological parents. It can cause serious problems with how the body breaks down proteins. […] IVA occurs when there is a mutation in the gene coding for an enzyme called isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVD), resulting in a deficiency of typical IVD. […] Several factors may trigger IVA episodes, including infections and a large intake of food that is high in protein. […] People inherit IVA in an autosomal recessive pattern. This means that both biological parents must pass on altered IVD genes for the condition to develop. […] Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is a rare inherited condition that affects leucine breakdown. […] After an IVA diagnosis, people will need to avoid high protein food and take lifelong medications to clear waste acids from the body.

[…] IVA disorder results from an accumulation of isovaleric acid in the body, which is toxic to the central nervous system. […] During IVA crises, detoxification is achieved through alternative pathways that produce isovaleric glycine, 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid and other metabolites excreted via the urinary system.
  • #78 Recurrent vomiting in a child: a rare case of isovaleric acidemia | Pediatric Oncall Journal
    https://www.pediatriconcall.com/pediatric-journal/view-article/419
    A 3 1/2 years old girl, born to 2nd degree consanguineous marriage was admitted with chief complaints of recurrent episodes of projectile non-bilious vomiting since 6 months of age each lasting for 3-4 days and recurs every 4 to 5 months and each time requires hospital admission. […] Isovaleric acidemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with an incidence of 1 in 2 lakhs. […] It is due to deficiency of Isovaleryl-CoA Dehydrogenase required for the metabolism of the amino acid, leucine. […] Diagnosis involves screening for isovaleric acidemia using tandem mass spectrometry analysis of dried blood spot specimen. […] Treatment involves reducing protein intake, particularly the branched-chain amino acid leucine. […] The response to L-carnitine and glycine therapy in isovaleric acidaemia.

    When both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance in each pregnancy for the child to have IVA. […] Genetic testing for IVA can be done on a blood sample. […] Special tests on blood, urine, or skin samples can be done to confirm IVA. […] About one in every 230,000 babies in the United States is born with IVA. […] IVA does not happen more often in any specific race, ethnic group, geographical area, or country. […] IVA is sometimes also called: isovaleric Acid CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency, IVD deficiency, isovaleryl CoA carboxylase deficiency.

    This indicates that the variants in the first two regions are highly pathogenic, whereas the concentrated distribution of variants with an asymptomatic phenotype indicates that the amino acid variations are pathogenically milder. […] The hotspots for pathogenic variants depend on ethnicity and region. […] The variant c.1199A>G (p.Tyr371Cys) and c.1208A>G (p.Tyr403Cys) are common among the Han Chinese population (17). […] For IVA treatment, daily protein intake should be limited, and the dietary supplementation with L-carnitine and glycine should be prescribed to convert isovaleric acid to non-toxic isovalerylcarnitine and isovalerylglycine, respectively (11).

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2652706/
    Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of leucine metabolism caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVD) resulting in the accumulation of derivatives of isovaleryl-CoA. […] Molecular analysis of the IVD gene from patients with IVA has allowed characterization of different types of mutations in this gene. […] One missense mutation, 932CT (A282V), is particularly common in patients identified through newborn screening with mild metabolite elevations and who have remained asymptomatic to date. […] A better understanding of the heterogeneity of this disease and the relevance of genotype/phenotype correlations to clinical management of patients are among the challenges remaining in the study of this disorder in the coming years.
  • #82 Isovaleric Acidemia
    http://trose.20m.com/IVA/IVA.html
    Isovaleric Acidemia (IVA) is a hereditary metabolic disorder that prevents protein from properly breaking down in the system. IVA is caused by an enzyme that isn’t working right, so the isovaleric acid doesn’t get broken down properly. […] The result was IVA. For parents who both possess this mutated gene there is a 25% chance, with each pregnancy, that the baby will have IVA. […] Untreated IVA can cause severe health problems such as: lethargy, coma, seizures, vomiting, acidosis, ataxia, mental retardation, elevated isovaleric acid, moderate to severe hyperammonemia, hypocalcemia, pancytopenia – neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and/or anemia, and death soon after birth. […] With early detection of IVA the prognosis and quality of life greatly improves. […] There’s ongoing research in gene therapy that holds great promise for the future treatment of IVA and other metabolic disorders.

    The pathogenesis of the disease is still not fully understood. […] Mechanisms thought to be involved include the induction of oxidative stress through accumulating metabolites as seen in the rat brain cortex, the reduction of Na+, K+-ATPase activity by free isovaleric acid as shown in synaptic membranes from the cerebral cortex in young rats, and abnormal cellular growth signaling through activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), as suggested from studies with human IVD deficient cells. […] A certain missense mutation, c.932C>T (p.A282V), in either a homozygous or compound heterozygous state, is associated with this “mild” form of IVA. […] The first patient with SBCADD was reported in 1999. […] The ACADSB gene structure was described in 2000, and several mutations in this gene have been reported.

    Millington et al. differentiated the dietary and endogenous sources of abnormal metabolism and the accurate contribution to toxicity in the disease. Turnover of endogenous proteins rather than diet was confirmed to produce toxic metabolites in IVA. Therefore, suppression of endogenous catabolism rather than dietary restriction was conclusively stated to be the more effective therapy. […] Patients with IVA have feeding difficulties and vomiting leading to dehydration and acidosis with risk for aspiration. Prolonged fasting and surgical stress cause further decompensation.

    Prior to newborn screening, this mutation was identified only in a single patient with mild IVD deficiency originally evaluated for a tic disorder and slight developmental delay. […] It is clear that the newborn screening patients who carry the common mutation either in a homozygous or compound heterozygous state and their sibs skew the spectrum of IVA with more than half of individuals representing a new mild phenotype and potentially remaining asymptomatic. […] The necessity of any treatment for individuals diagnosed by newborn screening and carrying the common 932CT (A282V) mutation is unclear.
