Peroxisomal single enzyme/protein defect

This study tested a monthly injection called nedosiran in 27 children from birth to 11 years old with primary hyperoxaluria, a rare condition that causes harmful oxalate buildup and kidney damage. The goal was to see if the drug safely lowers oxalate levels in the urine. Early re…

This study tested a new approach to diagnose peroxisomal disorders, a group of rare genetic diseases. The strategy uses advanced metabolic and genetic tests to find the cause faster in people with suspicious symptoms or lab results. Researchers included 8 participants from four h…

This study looks at people who carry one copy of a mutated AGXT gene, which is linked to a rare kidney stone disease. Some carriers develop kidney stones, while others do not. Researchers will compare their urine oxalate levels and lifestyle factors to find out what triggers symp…

This study looked at whether whole genome sequencing (a complete read of a person's DNA) can help diagnose leukodystrophies, a group of rare brain diseases that are hard to identify. Researchers enrolled 236 children with white matter abnormalities on brain scans but no known gen…
