Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Solute carrier family 19 member 2 (SLC19A2, OMIM *603941) encodes thiamine human transporter 1 (THTR-1), which contributes to bringing thiamine (vitamin B1) into cells. Mutations in SLC19A2 lead to a rare recessive genetic disorder termed thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA) syndrome. METHODS: An Iranian family with TRMA was investigated by whole-exome sequencing (WES) to determine the...
