McArdle disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the muscle glycogen metabolism caused by mutations in the muscle glycogen phosphorylase gene. Until now, a total number of 11 different mutations in the coding region or splice sites of the myophosphorylase gene have been identified. In contr
The authors of this article have learned that the cDNA sequence numbering of the three novel mutations reported in the FTCD gene was incorrect. The authors regret this error but note that the mutations were reported correctly at the protein/amino acid level. The DNA mutations should have been repor
Glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency, an autosomal recessive disorder and the second most common inborn error of folate metabolism, is presumed to be due to defects in the bifunctional enzyme glutamate formiminotransferase-cyclodeaminase (FTCD). Features of a severe phenotype, first identified
## Abstract Celiac disease is caused by inflammatory, gluten specific T cell responses in the small intestine. Invariably such responses are HLAβDQ2 or HLAβDQ8 restricted, providing an explanation for the strong association between celiac disease and these HLAβclass II alleles. It is now clear that
