The symptoms of Leydig cell hypoplasia include pseudohermaphroditism, i.e., feminized, ambiguous, or relatively mildly underdeveloped (e.g., micropenis, severe hypospadias, [6] and/or cryptorchidism [undescended testes]) external genitalia, a female gender identity or gender variance, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (hypogonadism despite high levels of gonadotropins), delayed, impaired, or ...
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency is the most common genetic cause of elevated serum levels of homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia). It is caused by genetic defects in MTHFR, which is an important enzyme in the methyl cycle. [1] Common variants of MTHFR deficiency are asymptomatic and have only minor effects on disease risk. [2]

Ornithine translocase deficiency belongs to a class of metabolic disorders referred to as urea cycle disorders. The urea cycle is a sequence of reactions that occurs in liver cells. This cycle processes excess nitrogen, generated when protein is used by the body, to make a compound called urea that is excreted by the kidneys .
The disease was formerly known as myoadenylate deaminase deficiency (MADD). In virtually all cases, the deficiency has been caused by an SNP mutation, known as rs17602729 or C34T . While it was initially regarded as a recessive (or purely homozygous ) disorder, some researchers have reported the existence of similarly deleterious effects from ...
The treatment plan will depend on the severity of the disorder, however some form of treatment has been shown as helpful to produce successful progress towards a better health condition. Clearly, many health problems arise due to disordered eating. Coaches are discouraged from active participation in the treatment of eating disorders.
The aPTT-based APC resistance test involves a modified aPTT test performed in the presence and absence of activated protein C (APC). [1] [5] The ratio of these aPTT values is calculated and is called the APC sensitivity ratio (APCsr) or simply APC ratio (APCr). [1] [5] This ratio is inversely related to the degree of APC resistance. [7]
Holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency is an inherited metabolic disorder in which the body is unable to use the vitamin biotin effectively. [2] This disorder is classified as a multiple carboxylase deficiency , a group of disorders characterized by impaired activity of certain enzymes that depend on biotin.
