  • Hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria (HHH) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive urea cycle disorder. HHH is caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial ornithine transporter protein, which is encoded by the solute carrier family 25, member 15 (SLC25A15) gene. Recently, government supported Korean newborn screening has been expanded to include a tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) measurement of ornithine level. We report a case of a neonate with HHH syndrome showing a normal MS/MS measurement of ornithine level. A female newborn was admitted to neonatal intensive unit due to familial history of HHH syndrome. Her parents were consanguineous Parkistani couple. The subject's older sister was diagnosed with HHH syndrome at age of 30 months based on altered mental status and liver dysfunction. Even though the subject displayed normal ammonia and ornithine levels based on MS/MS analysis, a molecular test confirmed the diagnosis of HHH syndrome. At 1 month of age, amino acid analysis of blood and urine showed high levels of ornithine and homocitrulline. After 11 months of follow up, she showed normal growth and development, whereas affected sister showed progressive cognitive impairment despite no further hyperammonemia after protein restriction and standard therapy. Our report is in agreement with a previous Canadian study, which showed that neonatal samples from HHH syndrome patients demonstrate normal ornithine levels despite having known mutations. Considering the delayed rise of ornithine in affected patients, genetic testing, and repetitive metabolic testing is needed to prevent patient loss in high risk patients.

  • Objective : We aimed to analyze clinical and radiological outcomes retrospectively in patients with basilar apex aneurysms treated by coiling or clipping. Methods : Outcomes of basilar bifurcation aneurysms were assessed retrospectively in 77 consecutive patients (61 women, 16 men), ranging in age from 25 to 79 years (mean, 53.7 years) from 1999 to 2007. Results : Forty-nine patients out of 77 patients (63.6%) presented with subarachnoid hemorrhages of the 49 patients treated with coiling, 27 (55.1 %) showed complete occlusion of the aneurysm sac. Of these, 13 patients (26.5%) developed coil compaction on angiographic or MRI follow-up, with recoiling required in 9 patients (18.4%). Procedural complications of coiling were acute infarction in nine patients and the bleeding of the aneurysms in six patients. The remaining 28 patients underwent microsurgery : twenty-six of these (92.9%) with microsurgery followed up with conventional angiography. Complete occlusion of the aneurysm sac was achieved in 19 patients (73.1%). Operation-related complications of microsurgery were thalamoperforating artery injuries in three patients, retraction venous injury in two, postoperative epidural hemorrhage (EDH) in one, and transient partial or complete occulomotor palsy in 14 patients. Glasgow Outcome Scores (GOS) were 4 or 5 in 21 of 28 (75%) patients treated with microsurgery at discharge, and at 6 month follow-up, 20 of 28 (70.9%) maintained the same GOS. In comparison, GOS of four or 5 was observed in 36 of 49 (73.5%) patients treated with coiling at discharge and at 6 month follow-up, 33 of 49 patients (67.3%) maintained the GOS from discharge. Conclusion : Basilar top aneurysms were still challenging lesions based on our series. Endovascular or microsurgery endowed with its inborn risks and procedural complications for the treatment of basilar apex aneurysms individually. Microsurgery provided better outcome in some specific basilar apex aneurysms. For reaching the most favorable outcome, endovascular modality as well as microsurgery was inevitably considered for each specific basilar apex aneurysm.

  • Purpose: From the early 1990's, use of Tandem mass spectrometry in neonatal screening test, made early stage detection of disorders that was not detectable by the previous methods of inspection. This research aims to evaluate the frequency of positive results in national neonatal screening test by Tandem mass spectrometry and its usefulness. Methods: A designated organization for inherited metabolic disorder executed neonatal screening test on newborns using Tandem mass spectrometry from January 2006 to December 2015, followed by the investigation of these data by the Planned Population Federation of Korea (PPFK), and this research analyzed those inspected data from the PPFK. Results: Among total childbirth of 4,590,606, from January 2006 to December 2015, 3,445,238 were selected for MS/MS and conduction rate was 75.1%. 261 out of the selected 3,445,238 were confirmed patients and for last decade, detection rate of total metabolic disorder was 1/13,205. In 261 confirmed patients, 120 had an amino acid metabolic disorder and its detection rate was 1/28,710 and 110 had an organic acid metabolic disorder and detection rate was 1/31,320. Also, 31 had a fatty acid metabolic disorder and detection rate was 1/13,205. Conclusion: Inherited metabolic disorder is very rare. Until now, it was difficult to precisely grasp an understanding on the national incidence of inherited metabolic disorder, due to lack of overall data and inconsistent and incomplete long-term result analysis. However, this research attempted to comprehensively approach the domestic incidence, by analyzing previous 10 years of data.

  • 1989년 3월부터 2005년 5월까지 울산대학교 의과대학 서울아산병원 소아외과에서 치료받은 신생아 Bochdalek 탈장 67예를 대상으로 하였다. 1989년 3월부터 1999년 말까지 조기수술, 과호흡, 수술시 흉관의 삽입을 시행한 I기(33예)와, 2000년 1월부터 2005년 5월까지 지연 수술, 최소한의 호흡 요법과 고빈도 환기 요법, 일산화질소 흡입 요법을 병행하고, 수술시 흉관의 삽입을 제한한 II기(34예)로 나누어 생존율을 비교하였다. I기의 경우 33예 중 20예가 생존하여 60.6 %, II기의 경우 34예 중 25예가 생존하여 73.5 %의 신생아기 생존율을 보였으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 하지만 II기에서 생존율이 향상된 경향을 보임으로, II기에 불필요한 수술은 피할 수 있었던 것으로 생각되며, 나쁜 예후 인자를 갖는 예에서 치료 원칙의 변화가 의미 있는 역할을 했을 것으로 생각된다. 지연수술, 호흡요법, 일산화질소 흡입요법 각각의 영향에 대한 조사를 할 수 없었던 것은 이번 연구의 한계이다. 그러나 수술 전에 충분하게 제반 상태가 안정된 후에 시행하는 지연 수술이 바람직하다고 생각되며, 수술시 흉관 삽입은 피하는 것이 좋겠다. 수술 전후의 고빈도 환기 요법과 에 대해서는 좀 더 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

  • Purpose: The outcomes of small for gestational age (SGA) infants especially in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWIs) are controversial. This study evaluated the mortality and morbidity of ELBWIs, focusing on whether or not they were also SGA. Methods: The medical records of 415 ELBWIs (birth weight<1,000 g), who were inborn and admitted to the Samsung Medical Center neonatal intensive care unit from January 2000 to December 2008, were reviewed retrospectively. Mortality and morbidities were compared by body size groups: very SGA (VSGA), birth weight ${\leq}$3rd percentile; SGA, 3rd to 10th percentile; and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants, >10th percentile for gestational age. For gestational subgroup analysis, groups were divided into infants with gestational age ${\leq}24^{+6}$ weeks (subgroup I), $25^{+0}$ to $26^{+6}$ weeks (subgroup II), and ${\geq}27^{+0}$ weeks (subgroup III) Results: Gestational age was $29^{+2}{\pm}2^{+6}$ weeks in the VSGA infants (n=49), $27^{+5}{\pm}2^{+2}$weeks in the SGA infants (n=45), and $25^{+4}{\pm}1^{+4}$ weeks in AGA infants (n=321). Birth weight was $692{\pm}186.6$ g, $768{\pm}132.9$ g, and $780{\pm}142.5$ g in the VSGA, SGA, and AGA groups, respectively. Cesarean section rate and maternal pregnancy-induced hypertension were more common in the VSGA and SGA than in AGA pregnancies. However, chorioamnionitis was more common in the AGA group. The mortalities of the lowest gestational group (subgroup I), and also of the lower gestational group (subgroup I+II) were significantly higher in the VSGA group than the SGA or AGA groups (P=0.020 and P=0.012, respectively). VSGA and SGA infants showed lower incidence in respiratory distress syndrome, ductal ligation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage than AGA group did. However, by multiple logistic regression analysis of each gestational subgroup, the differences were not significant. Conclusion: Of ELBWIs, extremely SGA in the lower gestational subgroups, had an impact on mortality, which may provide information useful for prenatal counseling.

  • 암모니아는 매우 독성이 있으며, 흥분 독성, 산화 스트레스, 염증을 통해 신경 세포의 손상을 유발한다. 간이 암모니아 대사를 위한 일차 기관이라는 사실에 근거하여 선천성 대사 오류의 원인이 된다. 혈중 암모니아 판정은 측정값의 일부 범위에서 결정하게 되는데 최근 진단분야에서 혈중 암모니아를 가능한 동시다발적으로 측정하게 되었다. 그러나 혈액검체의 수집, 처리, 저장 및 분석은 오류의 모든 잠재적인 요인이다. 신속하고 신뢰할 수 있는 혈중 암모니아 측정의 평가를 위해 DRI-CHEM 100 (Fuji Film Co., Japan) 및 COBAS 8000 (Roche Diagnostic Ltd., Switzerland) 분석기를 이용해 비교평가 분석하였고 높은 상관성을 얻었으며 one-step 방법은 암모니아 분석에 적합하였다. 암모니아의 채혈 후 시간대별 측정에서는 30, 90, 180분에 각각 46.5, 57.4, 79.0 (${\mu}g/dL$)로 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 암모니아의 용량별 측정에서는 7, 10, 13 (${\mu}L$)에 각각 39, 46, 43 (${\mu}g/dL$)으로 나타났으며 $10{\mu}L$에서 유의성을 보였다(p<0.001). 결론적으로 위 평가 분석은 임상적용에서 유용한 정보를 제공 할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 시트룰린혈증 2형은 SLC25A13 유전자 결함으로 인한 시트린 결핍에 의한 상염색체 열성 유전질환이다. 시트룰린혈증 2형은 임상적으로 '시트린 결핍증에 의한 신생아 간내 담즙정체(NICCD)'와 '성인기 발병형 시트룰린혈증 2형'의 두 가지 형태로 나타난다. NICCD는 영아기 간내 담즙정체, 지방간, 간기능 장애, 저단백혈증과, 혈액 응고장애, 저혈당증, 성장부진 등의 증상이 나타나며 임상증상과 생화학적 검사 결과를 바탕으로 질환을 의심하에 SLC25A13 유전자 검사를 통해 확진할 수 있다. 또한 최근에는 무증상 상태에서 신생아 대사이상 선별검사를 통해 진단되기도 한다. 저자들은 신생아 대사이상 선별검사는 정상이었으나 지속되는 황달로 입원한 3개월 남아에서 SLC25A13 유전자 검사로 확진된 NICCD 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 환아는 지속적 황달과 경도의 고암모니아 혈증과 간효소 수치의 상승, 직접 빌리루빈의 상승을 보이고, 혈장 아미노산 분석 결과 시트룰린과 메티오닌, 트레오닌 상승을 보였다. 시트룰린 혈증 2형 의심 하에 시행한 SLC25A13 유전자 염기서열 분석 결과, c.[852_855delTATG](p.Met285Profs*2)과 c. [1180+1G>A] 이형접합 변이가 발견되었다. 신생아 대사이상 선별검사 결과가 정상이었다고 하더라고 간내 담즙정체가 있는 영아는 NICCD를 감별진단 중 하나로 고려하여 암모니아 및 혈장 아미노산 분석을 포함하여 검사를 시행하는 것이 감별진단에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

  • The urea cycle, consisting of a series of six enzymatic reactions, plays key roles to prevent the accumulation of toxic nitrogenous compound and synthesize arginine de novo. Five well characterized diseases have been described, resulting from an enzymatic defect in the biosynthesis of one of the normally expressed enzyme. This presentation will focus on two representative diseases; ornithine transcarbamylase(OTC) deficiency and citrullinemia(argininosuccinate synthetase deficiency). OTC deficiency is one of the most common inborn error of urea cycle, which is inherited in X-linked manner. We identified 17 different mutations in 20 unrelated Korean patients with OTC deficiency; L9X, R26P, R26X, T44I, R92X, G100R, R141Q, G195R, M205T, H214Y, D249G, R277W, F281S, 853 del C, R320X, V323M and 10 bp del at nt. 796-805. These mutations occur at well conserved nucleotide sequences across species or CpG hot spot. The L9X and R26X lead to the disruption of leader sequences, required for directing mitochondrial localization of the OTC precursor. Their phenotypes are severe, and neonatal onset. The G100R, R277W and V323M mutations were uniquely identified in patients with late onset OTC deficiency. The other genotypes are associated with neonatal onset. Out of 20 patients with OTC deficiency, only 6 patients are alive; two were liver transplanted, and normal in growth and development at 2, 4 years after transplantation respectively. Citrullinemia is an autosomal recessive disease, caused by the mutations in the argininosuccinate synthetase(ASS) gene. We identified in 3 major mutations in 11 unrelated Korean patients with citrullinemia; G324S, $IVS6^{-2}$ A to G, and 67 bp ins at nt 1125-1126. Among these, the 67 base pair insertion mutation is novel. The allele frequency of each mutation is; G324S(45%), IVS6-2 A to G(32%), and 67 base pair insertion(14%). All patients are diagnosed at neonatal or infantile age. Interestingly, two patients presented with stroke like episode. Out of 11 patients, 5 patients died. Among 6 patients alive, one patient was successfully liver transplanted.
