“…A neurogenetic disorder related to homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the SLC19A3 gene was firstly described in 2005 [7] and is known by two acronyms: BBGD (biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease) and BTRBGD (biotin-thiamine-respon-sive basal ganglia disease). Since its discovery, almost a hundred patients have been reported, mainly from Saudi Arabia [2], but also from Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Sweden and other countries.…”

“…Los niveles de tiamina normales no excluyen el diagnóstico de EW, ya que existe una relación con mutaciones en el gen del transportador de tiamina (20,21) y adicionalmente, su medición es difícil en el contexto de los paises en vias de desarrollo. En nuestra institución es necesaria la remisión internacional de la muestra, con resultado disponible luego de 10 días de la toma, además son necesarias algunas condiciones técnicas difíciles de cumplir en pacientes sintomáticos (análisis de la muestra antes de 24 horas de la recolección, toma en ayuno mínimo de 8 horas y sin infusiones dextrosadas, entre otras).…”
