Molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A, the most frequent form of this autosomal recessive disorder, by adeno-associated virus mediated gene transfer (5), this provides hope for future therapeutic options in homozygous humans, hence, increased awareness and early identification of these Based on limited case studies, a molybdenum deficiency may cause metabolic disturbances that lead to developmental delays, seizures, visual alterations and neurological changes. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder belonging to the large family of inborn errors in metabolism. Your role and/or occupation, e.g. The molybdenum cofactor deficiency type C by mutation of the GPHN gene is one of the rarest and most severe of all (only one case described in the literature) and it has been demonstrated in cell cultures that the repeated administration of high doses of inorganic molybdenum can be effective only in the treatment of the disease caused by this gene. Enter and update disclosures at http://submit.neurology.org. Go to Neurology.org for full disclosures. Usually this leads to death within months of birth, due to the lack of active sulfite oxidase. This effect, however, is strictly limited to the special … The patient in the 1981 “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” case report suffered from headaches, night blindness, and an accelerated heart and respiratory rate. When caused by a mutation in the MOCS1 gene it is the type A variant. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) and isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency (ISOD) are rare, inherited diseases - with few physicians and medical professionals experienced in diagnosing and treating these conditions. MoCD should be considered in any child with global developmental delay and seizures in the setting of dysmorphic facies, dislocated ocular lenses, and hypouricemia.

Molybdenum cofactor deficiency is a rare condition occurring in humans. Molybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis is an ancient and highly conserved pathway. Mutation in any of these genes causes deterioration in molybdenum formation. Brain MRI should be used judiciously to distinguish MoCD from HIE, with is a close differential diagnosis. Babies with this condition appear normal at birth, but within a week they have difficulty feeding and develop seizures that do … Child Neurology: Molybdenum cofactor deficiency. Metabolomics (Los Angel) 6: 184. doi: 10.4172/2153-0769.1000184 Page 2 of 6 Volume 6 • Issue 3 • 1000184 Metabolomics (Los Angel), an oen access ounal [1] As of 2010, there had been approximately 132 reported cases.[2]. Exception: replies can include all original authors of the article. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MCD or MOCD) is a very rare, lethal, genetic condition caused by a loss of function of molybdenum-dependent enzymes, manifesting as severe and rapid neurological deterioration. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by severe and rapidly progressive neurologic damage caused by the functional loss of sulfite oxidase, one of four molybdenum-dependent enzymes. Do not be redundant. [4][5] Baby Z will require daily injections of cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP) for the rest of her life. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A (MoCD-A) is an inborn error of metabolism presenting early after birth with severe seizures. It is characterized by a neonatal presentation of intractable seizures, feeding difficulties, severe developmental delay, microcephaly with brain atrophy and coarse facial features. It can also be caused by a mutation in the MOCS2 gene or the GEPH gene. Due to deficiency of molybdenum cofactor, the sulfite gets accumulated in the body to a level which is toxic to the health.. Usually the condition is a genetic problem and it is an inherited deficiency. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by neonatal onset of intractable seizures, opisthotonus, and facial dysmorphism associated with hypouricemia and elevated urinary sulfite levels. Neurocognitive outcome is markedly improved and lifelong therapy is recommended.9 Molybdate therapy may benefit those with mutations in the GEPH gene.2 It is now possible to establish diagnosis in the prenatal period by mutational analysis or linkage studies in families where the specific genetic defect is known or by estimating sulfite oxidase in chorionic villus tissue.2 Prenatal diagnosis has the advantage of permitting decision regarding continuation of pregnancy and initiation of early treatment in the newborn child to arrest the illness.2. Stay timely. Early diagnosis is essential to avail benefit of emerging therapies. Four genes (MOCS1, MOCS2, MOCS3, and GEPH) are needed for the production pathway of molybdenum cofactor. Molybdenum cofactor deficiency is a rare condition characterized by brain dysfunction (encephalopathy) that worsens over time. The patient was treated with cPMP, a precursor of molybdopterin.
