The product of thiamine phosphokinase is the cofactor for many enzymes, including the dehydrogenases of pyruvate, 2-ketoglutarate and branched chain ketoacids. Its deficiency has recently been described in a small number of patients, some of whom had a Leigh syndrome phenotype. The patient who also had a Leigh phenotype was initially found to have a low concentration of biotin in plasma and massive urinary excretion of biotin. Despite treatment with biotin and thiamine, her disease was progressive. Mutations c.311delG and c.426G > C were found in the TPK1 gene.
硫胺素激酶的产物是许多酶的辅助因子,包括丙酮酸、2-酮戊二酸和支链酮酸的脱氢酶。最近在少数患者中描述了其缺乏症,其中一些患者具有 Leigh 综合征表型。该患者也具有 Leigh 表型,最初发现其血浆中生物素浓度低,且大量生物素从尿液中排泄。尽管用生物素和硫胺素进行了治疗,但她的病情仍在进展。在 TPK1 基因中发现了 c.311delG 和 c.426G > C 突变。
