26

Cori Disease Cause: deficiency in a-1,6 glucosidase; glycogen with large number of short branches Symptoms: light hypoglycemia and hepatomegaly
27

Andersen Disease Cause: deficiency in glucosyl (4:6) transferase; long chain glycogen with fewer branches Symptoms: hepatosplenomegaly and cirrhosis
28
GSD V
McArdle Disease Cause: deficiency in muscle glycogen phosphorylase (RLS of glycogen breakdown); unable to supply muscles with enough glucose Symptoms: weakness, fatigue, muscle cramping, and muscle breakdown (myoglobinuria)
29
GSD VI
Hers Disease Cause: deficiency in liver glycogen phosphorylase; prevents glycogen breakdown in the liver, hence it accumulates in the liver Symptoms: hepatomegaly and low BG levels
30
MCAD (primary carnitine deficiency)
Issue with the MCAD (medium chain acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase) in the mitochondria cannot breakdown the medium chain fatty acids which leads to low intracellular carnitine levels (secondary carnitine deficiency) Clinical: hypoglycemia/sudden death
31
Methotrexate
- Targets dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) - Prevents oxidation of NADPH - Antineoplatic agent used to treat cancer - Inhibitions disrupts DNA replication in cancer cells
32
"Sulfa" drugs
- Antibacterial agent - Inhibits the pathway that takes PABA to folate in bacterial cells, essentially starving the bacterium - Disrupts DNA replication in bacteria
33
Oxidation levels of purines
Adenine = 0 O2 Guanine and Hypoxanthine = 1 O2 Xanthine = 2 O2 Uric acid = 3 O2 - Uric acid is the end point of purine catabolism, which is most oxidized (**Catabolic processes add oxygen to make more polar)
34
Acyclovir
- Used to help heal sores related to chicken pox, shingles, and HPV - Affects the enzyme thymidine kinase - Phosphorylated by viral thymidine kinase at higher rate than cellular thymidine kinase - Converts to acyclo-dGTP and incorporates into viral cells, which terminates the DNA replication in viral cells
35
Wet Beriberi
- Thiamine (B1) deficiency - Peripheral edema - Cardiac failure
36
Dry Beriberi
- Thiamine (B1) deficiency - Muscle wasting - Partial paralysis
37
Pellagra
- Niacin (B3) deficiency - 4 D's = Diarrhea, Dementia, Dermatitis, Death - Secondary to malnutrition from alcoholism, bariatric surgery, or malabsorption disease ***Trp is precursor for Niacin (Hartnup)
38
Pernicious anemia
- Deficiency of Cobalamin (B12)
39
Scurvy
- Vitamin C deficiency - Prominent cutaneous signs (scabs) - Gingivitis - Arthralgias - Impaired wound healing - Treatment = eating citrus fruits
40
Childhood rickets or Osteomalacia in adults
- Vitamin D deficiency - Delayed growth - Pain in spine, pelvis, and legs - Bowed legs - Thickened wrists and ankles - Breastbone projection ***Chvostek's/Trousseau's signs
41
Paresthesia and Dysesthesias ("Burning Feet Syndrome")
- Vitamin B5 deficiency | - Needed for synthesis of Coenzyme A
42
Multiple Carboxylase Deficiency (MCD)
- Vitamin B7 deficiency - Dermatitis around eyes, nose, and mouth - Conjunctivitis - Alopecia - Neurological symptoms
43
Homocysteinemia Microcytic Megaloblastic Anemia Spina bifida (during pregnancy)
- Vitamin B9 deficiency
44
Pathological ketoacidosis
Occurs when the glucagon:insulin ratio is increased, which favors FA breakdown (so you have a lot of glucose) -reduced OAA CLINICAL: acetone breath, fruity odor
45
Hyperhmocysteinemia and homocystinuria
caused by.. -vitamin (B6, B12, folic acid) deficiencies) -genetic defects in enzymes defective metabolism of homocysteine (need PLP in order to convert homocysteine) CLINICAL: risk of heart attach and stroke, which can lead to neuropsychiatric illness
46
Maple Syrup Urine disease
Defect in the breakdown of branched chain amino acids secondary to the branched chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKD) which leads to acuduria CLINICAL: maple syrup smelling urine, and branched chain accumulation in the blood which can be toxic to the brain and eventually lead to mental retardation
47
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
defect in the activity of phenylalanine hydroxyls (PAH) which is the most common inborn error of metabolism (IEM) - phenyalalnine is converted into phenyllactate and phenyl acetate which disrupt neurotransmission and block amino acid transport in the brain - interferes with myelin production - severe brain impairment
48
Albinism
Lack of melanin secondary to defects in tyrosinase which doesn't allow tyrosine to be converted into melanin CLINICAL: partial or complete absence of skin pigmentation
49
Hyperammonemia
Deficiency in the carboxyl phosphate synthetase 1, which produces carbomyl phosphate which enters into the urea cycle and leads to an increase in ammonia in the body autosomal recessive
50
Hyper/hypo thyroidism
Over or under production of hormones T3 and T4 autosomal recessive disorder
51
Ammonia toxicity
Excessive ammonia due to disorders in the urea cycle or liver failure NH3 is toxic and can cause problems to the brain, liver, and CNS CLINICAL: pH imbalance, swelling of the astrocytes in the brain, cerebral edema and intracranial HTN, decrease in glutamate secondary to the glutamate dehydrogenase switching the glutamate to alpha=ketoglutarate (inhibiting TCA)
52
How is urea production increased in regards to diet? How is it decreased?
High protein diet increases the urea cycle and a high carb diet decreases the urea cycle
53
Describe GMP and dGTP deprivation
There is an issue with the oxidative conversion of IMP to XMP, which is catalyzed by the IMP dehydrogenase. This decreases GMP levels -Can be used as an immunosuppressant drug to prevent rejection in that GMP is inhibited
54
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)
X linked disorder that affects both of the arms of the adaptive immune system (B and T cells, which leads to a crap immune system. ADA is the most common, which leads to an increase in AMP and dATP production, which will in turn inhibit all of the other nucleotides from being made, which will destroy the immune system
55
Gout
Primary hyperuricemia- over production of uric acid Secondary hyperuricemia- under excretion of uric acid CLINICAL: high levels of uric acid in the blood painful deposits of sodium rate in the joints 'diet can make it worse with increased purines Treatment: allopurinol can inhibit the enzyme xanthidine oxidase, which will not be converted into uric acid
56
What are the normal levels of uric acid and serum rate levels?
Adult males: 4-8.6 mg/dL Adult females: 3.0-5.9 mg/dL serum rate levels >9 mg/dL increase the risk of gout
57
Lesch Nyhan syndrome
Defect in the HGPRT in the purine salvage pathway CLINICAL: leads to gout, kidneys stones, mental retardation, SELF MUTILATION crazy high uric acid levels and purine levels
58
Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome
<8% normal HGPRT activity | Gout and kidney destruction but NO neurological sx
