Riboflavin transporter deficiency: AAV9-SLC52A2 gene therapy as a new therapeutic strategy [PDF]
Riboflavin transporter deficiency syndrome (RTD) is a rare childhood-onset neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in SLC52A2 and SLC52A3 genes, encoding the riboflavin (RF) transporters hRFVT2 and hRFVT3.

Impact of natural mutations on the riboflavin transporter 2 and their relevance to human riboflavin transporter deficiency 2 [PDF]
AbstractRiboflavin transporter deficiency 2 (RTD2) is a rare neurological disorder caused by mutations in the Solute carrier family 52 member 2 (Slc52a2) gene encoding human riboflavin transporter 2 (RFVT2). This transporter is ubiquitously expressed and mediates tissue distribution of riboflavin, a waterâsoluble vitamin that, after conversion into FMN

Clinical Presentation and Outcome of Riboflavin Transporter Deficiency: Mini Review After Five Years of Experience [PDF]
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is absorbed in the small intestine by the human riboflavin transporters RFVT1 and RFVT3. A third riboflavin transporter (RFVT2) is expressed in the brain.

The First Case of Riboflavin Transporter Deficiency in sub-Saharan Africa
This report describes the first case of a child with genetically confirmed Brown-Vialetto-van Laere syndrome in sub-Saharan Africa. This is an extremely rare clinical condition that presents with an auditory neuropathy, bulbar palsy, stridor, muscle weakness, and respiratory compromise that manifests with diaphragmatic and vocal cord paralysis.

A.05 An epidemiologic study of SLC52A2-related Riboflavin Transport Deficiency [PDF]
Background: Riboflavin transporter deficiency (RTD), formerly known as Brown-Vialetto-van Laere syndrome, is an early-onset neurodegenerative disorder with distinctive phenotypes. RTD is caused by mutations in either the SLC52A2 or SLC52A3 genes that encode riboflavin transporters RFVT-2 and RFVT-3, respectively.
