Primary hyperoxaluria Type 1 is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of glyoxylate metabolism, caused by a deficiency of the liver-specific enzyme alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a hepatorenal fibrocystic disorder that is characterized by enlarged kidneys with progressive loss of renal function and biliary duct dilatation and congenital hepatic fibrosis that leads to portal hypertension in some patients.

Spinal muscular atrophy is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases, affecting approximately one in 10,000 live births and with a carrier frequency of approximately one in 50. Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by a deficiency...

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by the functional defect of alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase that results in the overproduction of oxalate. It can be devastating especially for kidneys, leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) during the first 2 to 3 decades of life in most patients.

The aim of the article is to discuss the role of genetic testing and its difficulties in diagnostics of ARPKD in children.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of tolvaptan on the need for renal replacement therapy in pediatric subjects with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD)

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of tolvaptan in pediatric subjects with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD)

Spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease characterised by degeneration of spinal cord motor neurons, atrophy of skeletal muscles, and generalised weakness. It is caused by homozygous disruption...

The autosomal recessive inherited primary hyperoxalurias types I, II and III are caused by defects in glyoxylate metabolism that lead to the endogenous overproduction of oxalate. Type III primary hyperoxaluria was first described in 2010 and further types are likely to exist.

Primary Hyperoxaluria is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disorder due to deficient alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase enzyme with defective glyoxylate metabolism leading to excessive oxalate production and deposition into the tissues (oxalosis).
