      The aim of this study was to compare the value of serum biomarkers, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), with histological analysis of muscle in the diagnosis of mitochondrial ...
    • Functional evaluation of 16 SCHAD missense variants: Only amino acid substitutions causing congenital hyperinsulinism of infancy lead to loss-of-function phenotypes in vitro 

      Velasco Pinto, Kelly; St-Louis, Johanna; Hovland, Henrikke N.; Thompson, Nels; Ottesen, Åsta; Choi, Man Hung; Pedersen, Line; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus; Arnesen, Thomas; Fjeld, Karianne; Aukrust, Ingvild; Myklebust, Line Merethe; Molven, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Short‐chain 3‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA dehydrogenase (SCHAD), encoded by the HADH gene, is a ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial enzyme involved in fatty acid oxidation. This protein also plays a role in insulin secretion as ...
    • Safety of drug use in patients with a primary mitochondrial disease: An international Delphi-based consensus 

      De Vries, Maaike C.; Brown, David A.; Allen, Mitchell E.; Bindoff, Laurence; Gorman, Gráinne S.; Karaa, Amel; Keshavan, Nandaki; Lamperti, Costanza; McFarland, Robert; Ng, Yi Shiau; O'Callaghan, Mar; Pitceathly, Robert D.

      Clinical guidance is often sought when prescribing drugs for patients with primary mitochondrial disease. Theoretical considerations concerning drug safety in patients with mitochondrial disease may lead to unnecessary ...
    • Simplifying the clinical classification of polymerase gamma (POLG) disease based on age of onset; studies using a cohort of 155 cases 

      Hikmat, Omar; Naess, Karin; Engvall, Martin; Klingenberg, Claus; Rasmussen, Magnhild; Tallaksen, Chantal; Brodtkorb, Eylert; Østergaard, Elsebet; de Coo, Irenaeus F.M.; Pias-Peleteiro, Leticia; Isohanni, Pirjo; Uusimaa, Johanna; Darin, Niklas; Rahman, Shamima; Bindoff, Laurence (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background Variants in POLG are one of the most common causes of inherited mitochondrial disease. Phenotypic classification of POLG disease has evolved haphazardly making it complicated and difficult to implement in ...
