Abstract
![CDATA[Molybdenum cofactor deficiency causes severe neonatal metabolic disease, seizures and death or severe brain damage. The cofactor forms the active site in aldehyde oxidase, xanthine oxidoreductase, mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component and sulphite oxidase. Cyclic pyranopterin mononophosphate (cPMP), the first intermediate in molybdenum cofactor synthesis, is absent in patients with mutations in MOCS1 gene, while it is elevated in patients with MOCS2 mutations. Mutations in MOCS1 (complementation group A) cause about 2/3 of cases, and are potentially treatable with cPMP. Mutations in MOCS2 are found in complementation group B. A mutation in the GEPHYRIN gene was found in one case in complementation group C.]]
