PDXK encodes for a pyridoxal kinase, which converts inactive B6 vitamers to the active cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). Recently, biallelic pathogenic variants in PDXK were shown to cause axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with optic atrophy that responds to PLP supplementation. We present two affected siblings carrying a novel biallelic missense PDXK variant with a similar phenotype with earlier onset....
