The pathogenesis of molybdenum cofactor deficiency, its delay by maternal clearance, and its expression pattern in microarray analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Molybdenum cofactor (Moco)-deficiency is a lethal autosomal recessive disease, for which until now no effective therapy is available. The biochemical hallmark of this disorder is the inactivity of the Moco-dependent sulfite oxidase, which results in elevated sulfite and diminished sulfate levels throughout the organism. In humans, Moco-deficiency results in neurological damage, which is apparent in untreatable...
