Entry term(s) trastorno del transporte de aminoácidos neutros
Scope note: Trastorno del transporte de aminoácidos que se caracteriza por un comienzo en la infancia (o de modo infrecuente en adultos) con una dermatitis fotosensible y síntomas neurológicos intermitentes. La ataxia, cambios de la personalidad, cefaleas migrañosas y fotofobia pueden ocurrir periódicamente. El trastorno se produce por alteración en el transporte dependiente del sodio de los aminoácidos neutros a través del borde en cepillo de la membrana epitelial del intestino delgado y de los túbulos renales. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, pp59-60)

Scope note: An autosomal recessive disorder due to defective absorption of NEUTRAL AMINO ACIDS by both the intestine and the PROXIMAL RENAL TUBULES. The abnormal urinary loss of TRYPTOPHAN, a precursor of NIACIN, leads to a NICOTINAMIDE deficiency, PELLAGRA-like light-sensitive rash, CEREBELLAR ATAXIA, emotional instability, and aminoaciduria. Mutations involve the neurotransmitter transporter gene SLC6A19.
