Abstract excerpt
Certain human mutations in the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 4A1 (ALDH4A1) lead to a severe, paediatric form of epilepsy and developmental abnormalities, yet the precise molecular mechanism leading to the clinical phenotypes remains unexplained. ALDH4A1 metabolizes glutamic-γ-semialdehyde (GSA). Mutations in ALDH4A1, which lead to inactive enzyme variants, cause GSA to accumulate and vitamin B6...
