Elevated brain lactate level by MRS- MedGen UID:
- 868368
- •Concept ID:
- C4022762
- •
- Finding
An increase in the level of lactate in the brain identified by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).
Absent posterior alpha rhythm- MedGen UID:
- 1612377
- •Concept ID:
- C4531069
- •
- Finding
Lack of normal alpha rhythm in the EEG. Alpha rhythm has been defined as a rhythm at 8-13 Hz occurring during wakefulness over the posterior regions of the head, generally with higher voltage over the occipital areas. Amplitude is variable but is mostly below 50 microvolt in adults. It is best seen with eyes closed and under conditions of physical relaxation and relative mental inactivity. It is blocked or attenuated by attention, especially visual and mental effort. One should here note the difference between the terms alpha rhythm and alpha activity
Cerebral cortical atrophy- MedGen UID:
- 1646740
- •Concept ID:
- C4551583
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Atrophy of the cortex of the cerebrum.
Hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 10133
- •Concept ID:
- C0026827
- •
- Finding
Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist.
Axial hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 342959
- •Concept ID:
- C1853743
- •
- Finding
Muscular hypotonia (abnormally low muscle tone) affecting the musculature of the trunk.
Microcephaly- MedGen UID:

- •Concept ID:
- C4551563
- •
- Finding
Head circumference below 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender.
Respiratory insufficiency- MedGen UID:
- 11197
- •Concept ID:
- C0035229
- •
- Pathologic Function
Impairment of gas exchange within the lungs secondary to a disease process, neoplasm, or trauma, possibly resulting in hypoxia, hypercarbia, or both, but not requiring intubation or mechanical ventilation. Patients are normally managed with pharmaceutical therapy, supplemental oxygen, or both.
Lactic acidosis- MedGen UID:
- 1717
- •Concept ID:
- C0001125
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
An abnormal buildup of lactic acid in the body, leading to acidification of the blood and other bodily fluids.
Hyperglycinemia- MedGen UID:
- 82817
- •Concept ID:
- C0268559
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
An elevated concentration of glycine in the blood.
Hyper-beta-alaninemia- MedGen UID:
- 75702
- •Concept ID:
- C0268630
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
An increased concentration of alanine in the blood.
Increased circulating lactate concentration- MedGen UID:
- 332209
- •Concept ID:
- C1836440
- •
- Finding
Abnormally increased level of blood lactate (2-hydroxypropanoic acid). Lactate is produced from pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase during normal metabolism. The terms lactate and lactic acid are often used interchangeably but lactate (the component measured in blood) is strictly a weak base whereas lactic acid is the corresponding acid. Lactic acidosis is often used clinically to describe elevated lactate but should be reserved for cases where there is a corresponding acidosis (pH below 7.35).
Increased serum pyruvate- MedGen UID:
- 376596
- •Concept ID:
- C1849488
- •
- Finding
An increased concentration of pyruvate in the blood.
Diminished alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity in cultured fibroblasts- MedGen UID:
- 1053977
- •Concept ID:
- CN377978
- •
- Finding
Concentration or activity of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex as measured in cultured fibroblasts is below the limits of normal. This enzyme is a multienzyme complex consisting of 3 protein subunits, oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, also known as alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase or E1k (EC 1.2.4.2.), dihydrolipoyl succinyltransferase (DLST, or E2k; 126063), and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (DLD, or E3; 238331). The complex catalyzes a key reaction in the Krebs tricarboxylic acid cycle.
