Abstract excerpt
The sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) is a ubiquitously expressed sodium-solute symporter that transports pantothenic acid, biotin, and α-lipoic acid across the intestinal epithelia and blood-brain barrier. Severe biallelic loss-of-function variants in SLC5A6 (MIM #604024) lead to SMVT deficiency (SMVTD, MIM #618973), which classically presents with developmental delay, brain atrophy, epilepsy,...
