Abstract In this report, we describe the case of an 11‐year‐old boy, who came to our attention for myalgia and muscle weakness, associated with inappetence and vomiting. Hypertransaminasemia was also noted, with ultrasound evidence of hepatomegaly. Biochemical investigations revealed acylcarnitine and organic acid profiles resembling those seen in MADD,

Abstract Background Creatine transporter deficiency is an inborn error of metabolism caused by a deficiency in the creatine transporter protein encoded by the SLC6A8 gene. Previous treatment with creatine supplementation, either alone or in combination with creatine precursors (arginine or glycine), has been attempted; the efficacy of therapy, however,

Moving towards clinical trials for mitochondrial diseases
Abstract Primary mitochondrial diseases represent some of the most common and severe inherited metabolic disorders, affecting ~1 in 4,300 live births. The clinical and molecular diversity typified by mitochondrial diseases has contributed to the lack of licensed disease‐modifying therapies available. Management for the majority of patients is primarily

Treatable childhood neuronopathy caused by mutations in riboflavin transporter RFVT2. [PDF]
Childhood onset motor neuron diseases or neuronopathies are a clinically heterogeneous group of disorders. A particularly severe subgroup first described in 1894, and subsequently called Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome, is characterized by progressive ...

Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome: Case report and literature review
We describe a case of the Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome, which is a rare disorder characterized by progressive pontobulbar palsy associated with sensorineural deafness. More than 30 cases have been reported since the first case was described in 1894.

Functional variation of SLC52A3 rs13042395 predicts survival of Chinese gastric cancer patients
Abstract The solute carrier family 52 member 3 (SLC52A3) gene encodes riboflavin transporter protein which is essential to maintain mitochondrial function in cells. In our research, we found that SLC52A3 rs13042395 C > T variation was significantly associated with poor survival in a 926 Chinese gastric cancer (GCa) patients cohort (CC/CT genotype ...

A juvenile ALS‐like phenotype dramatically improved after high‐dose riboflavin treatment
AbstractRiboflavin transporter deficiency (RTD) was recently characterized as a cause of genetic recessive childhood‐onset motor neuron disease (MND) with hearing loss, formerly described as Brown‐Vialetto‐Van‐Lear syndrome. We describe a 18‐year‐old woman with probable RTD mimicking juvenile Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) who presented with an ...

Riboflavin transporter deficiency (RTD) is a childhood‐onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive pontobulbar palsy, sensory and motor neuron degeneration, sensorineural hearing loss, and optic atrophy. As riboflavin (RF) is the precursor of FAD and FMN, we hypothesize that both mitochondrial and peroxisomal energy metabolism ...

Background Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere Syndrome (BVVLS), a rare neurological disorder characterized by motor, sensory, and cranial neuronopathies, is mainly associated with defective riboflavin transporters encoded by SLC52A2 and SLC52A3 genes.
