Preferred Label : Transcobalamin II deficiency;

Symbol : TCN2D;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Tc II deficiency; Tcn2 deficiency;

Description : Transcobalamin II deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder with onset in early infancy characterized by failure to thrive, megaloblastic anemia, and pancytopenia. Other features include methylmalonic aciduria, recurrent infections, and vomiting and diarrhea. Treatment with cobalamin results in clinical improvement, but the untreated disorder may result in mental retardation and neurologic abnormalities (summary by Haberle et al., 2009). Hall (1981) gave a clinically oriented review of congenital defects of vitamin B12 transport, and Frater-Schroder (1983) gave a genetically oriented review.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the transcobalamin II gene (TCN2, 613441.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Normal serum cobalamin; Normal serum folate; Reduced unsaturated serum cobalamin binding capacity; Abnormal Schilling test (not normalized by addition of intrinsic factor); Transcobalamin II deficiency; Methylmalonic aciduria;
