Novel genetic tools to model functional enzyme restoration in succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD)
2020-10-01
Abstract excerpt
SSADHD is a rare inborn metabolic disorder caused by the functional impairment of SSADH (encoded by the aldh5a1 gene), an enzyme essential for breaking down the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA). In SSADHD, pathologic accumulation of GABA results in broad spectrum encephalopathy including developmental delay, ataxia, seizures and a risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
