polyneuropathy type);
Symbol : THMD4;
CISMeF acronym : THMD4;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Bilateral striatal degeneration and progressive polyneuropathy; Striatal necrosis, bilateral, and progressive polyneuropathy;
Description : Thiamine metabolism dysfunction syndrome-4 is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder
characterized by childhood onset of episodic encephalopathy, often associated with
a febrile illness, and causing transient neurologic dysfunction. Most patients recover
fully, but some may have mild residual weakness. Affected individuals also develop
a slowly progressive axonal polyneuropathy beginning in childhood. Brain imaging during
the acute episodes shows lesions consistent with bilateral striatal degeneration or
necrosis (summary by Spiegel et al., 2009). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity
of disorders due to thiamine metabolism dysfunction, see THMD1 (249270).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the solute carrier family 25 (mitochondrial thiamine pyrophosphate
carrier), member 19 gene (SLC25A19, 606521.0002);
Laboratory abnormalities : Increased CSF lactate during acute episodes;
