Molecular characterization of pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase and its pathogenic forms associated with neonatal epileptic encephalopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Defects of vitamin B6 metabolism are responsible for severe neurological disorders, such as pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase deficiency (PNPOD; OMIM: 610090), an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism that usually manifests with neonatal-onset severe seizures and subsequent encephalopathy. At present, 27 pathogenic mutations of the gene encoding human PNPO are known, 13 of which are homozygous missense...
