SLC25A19

Function

Mitochondrial transporter mediating uptake of thiamine pyrophosphate (ThPP) into mitochondria.

Involvement in disease

Microcephaly, Amish type

MCPHA

A disorder characterized by severe congenital microcephaly and severe 2-ketoglutaric aciduria leading to death within the first year.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Thiamine metabolism dysfunction syndrome 4, bilateral striatal degeneration and progressive polyneuropathy type

THMD4

A disease characterized by recurrent episodes of flaccid paralysis and encephalopathy associated with bilateral striatal necrosis and chronic progressive polyneuropathy.

None
