Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

Definition

Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase deficiency (RPIAD) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism of the pentose phosphate pathway that presents with leukoencephalopathy and peripheral neuropathy (Huck et al., 2004). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Decreased level of erythritol in urine
MedGen UID:
1632680
Concept ID:
C4703621
Finding
A decrease in the level of erythritol in the urine.
Increased level of D-threitol in urine
MedGen UID:
1646905
Concept ID:
C4703625
Finding
An increase in the level of D-threitol in the urine.
Increased level of ribitol in urine
MedGen UID:
1635343
Concept ID:
C4703636
Finding
An increase in the level of ribitol in the urine. Ribotol is a crystalline pentose alcohol (C5H12O5) and is a metabolic end product formed by the reduction of ribose.
Increased level of ribose in urine
MedGen UID:
1638493
Concept ID:
C4703638
Finding
An increase in the level of ribose in the urine.
Increased level of xylitol in urine
MedGen UID:
1632042
Concept ID:
C4703640
Finding
An increase in the level of xylitol in the urine.
Cerebellar ataxia
MedGen UID:
849
Concept ID:
C0007758
Disease or Syndrome
Cerebellar ataxia refers to ataxia due to dysfunction of the cerebellum. This causes a variety of elementary neurological deficits including asynergy (lack of coordination between muscles, limbs and joints), dysmetria (lack of ability to judge distances that can lead to under- or overshoot in grasping movements), and dysdiadochokinesia (inability to perform rapid movements requiring antagonizing muscle groups to be switched on and off repeatedly).
Dysarthria
MedGen UID:
8510
Concept ID:
C0013362
Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Dysarthric speech is a general description referring to a neurological speech disorder characterized by poor articulation. Depending on the involved neurological structures, dysarthria may be further classified as spastic, flaccid, ataxic, hyperkinetic and hypokinetic, or mixed.
Spasticity
MedGen UID:
7753
Concept ID:
C0026838
Sign or Symptom
A motor disorder characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes with increased muscle tone, exaggerated (hyperexcitable) tendon reflexes.
Seizure
MedGen UID:
20693
Concept ID:
C0036572
Sign or Symptom
A seizure is an intermittent abnormality of nervous system physiology characterized by a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.
Polyneuropathy
MedGen UID:
57502
Concept ID:
C0152025
Disease or Syndrome
A generalized disorder of peripheral nerves.
Leukoencephalopathy
MedGen UID:
78722
Concept ID:
C0270612
Disease or Syndrome
This term describes abnormality of the white matter of the cerebrum resulting from damage to the myelin sheaths of nerve cells.
Incoordination
MedGen UID:
141714
Concept ID:
C0520966
Finding
Global developmental delay
MedGen UID:
107838
Concept ID:
C0557874
Finding
A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age.
Sensorimotor neuropathy
