Congenital Transcobalamin II Deficiency Presenting Atypically With a Low Serum Cobalamin Level: Studies Demonstrating the Coexistence of a Circulating Transcobalamin

چکیده

A case of transcobalamin II deficiency with several unique features is described. The clinical presentation was typical. except for a slightly delayed age at presentation and the occurrence of apparent neurologic dysfunction from the beginning. The unusual biochemical feature was a low serum cobalamin level (97 pg/mI). Several cobalaminbinding protein abnormalities coexisted and antedated cobalamin therapy. Chief among these was the complexing of all serum R binder (transcobalamin I), leaving the patient with no detectable R binder. This defect appeared to be

Congenital disorders of vitamin B12 transport and their contributions to concepts. II.

Congenital deficiencies of Transcobalamin II (TC II) and R binders of vitamin B12 (B12, cobalamin, Cbl) have been described in several families. The deficiency of TC II exists as at least three variants. The deficiency of TC II is expressed by a profound megaloblastic pancytopenia during the first few weeks of life, but the serum Cbl is normal. In contrast, the deficiency of R binder is asympto...

Transport of therapeutic cyanocobalamin in the congenital deficiency of transcobalamin II (TC II).

Cobalamin (Cbl) transport was studied in the circulation of a child deficient in transcobalamin II (TC II) after 1.0 mg of cyanocobalamin (CN-Cbl) either intramuscularly or orally. Pertinent observations include the following: (1) There was no detectable TC II in the serum as measured immunologically or by binding capacities in vivo or in vitro. (2) Transcobalamin I (TC I) was present in at lea...
