While highly prevalent in the Asian population, CD is pan-ethnic and remains severely underdiagnosed. The disease is caused by the dysfunction or absence of the mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carrier 2 (AGC2/SLC25A13), also known as citrin. Citrin deficiency results in a direct impairment of the malate–aspartate shuttle and the urea cycle, with expected knock-on effects on a multitude of other metabolic pathways, leading to a complicated pathophysiology. Here, we discuss our current knowledge of the molecular mechanism of substrate transport by citrin, including recent advances suggesting against its calcium regulation.

Cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP), a molybdenum cofactor precursor, is a therapeutic option for patients with MoCD Type A. In this study, efficacy in patients with MoCD Type A treated with recombinant cPMP (rcPMP) and/or fosdenopterin, a synthetic form of cPMP, from one retrospective and two prospective open-label studies (<i>N</i> = 14), was compared with a retrospective/prospective natural history study (untreated; <i>N</i> = 37).

Most patients (13/14) had a treatment-emergent adverse event; most were unrelated to fosdenopterin/rcPMP, were mild to moderate in severity, and none led to treatment discontinuation. These results demonstrate that patients with MoCD Type A who received fosdenopterin/rcPMP versus untreated patients were more likely to survive. Some treated patients were able to feed orally and achieve developmental milestones including walking. Fosdenopterin/rcPMP was generally well-tolerated.

They are implicated in membrane structure, vesicle trafficking, neurotransmission, and cell signalling. GPL molecules are amphiphilic, organized around the three carbons of glycerol. Positions <i>sn-1</i> and <i>sn-2</i> are each esterified to a fatty acid (FA). At position <i>sn-3</i>, a phosphate group is linked, which in turn can bind a polar head group, the most prevalent classes being phosphatidic acid (PA, phosphate alone as head group), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and cardiolipin (CL). Pathways of GPL biosynthesis span several cell compartments (endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi mitochondria). Particularly important are mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs), where the ER and mitochondrial outer membrane are in proximity. After synthesis, GPLs continuously undergo remodelling by FA hydrolysis and re-esterification. Esterification with different FAs alters membrane properties. Many steps in GPL synthesis and remodelling can be mediated by more than one enzyme, suggesting complexity that requires further exploration. The 38 known GPL-related inborn errors are clinically diverse. 23 (61%) have neurologic features, sometimes progressive and severe, particularly developmental delay/encephalopathy in 16 (42%) and spastic paraplegia in 12 (32%). Photoreceptor/neuroretinal disease occurs in 14 (37%). Three present skeletal dysplasias (8%). Most GPL inborn errors have been diagnosed by broad molecular testing.
