Overview
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent epilepsy is a rare condition; approximately 14 cases have been described so far. It is a condition that involves seizures beginning soon after birth or, in some cases, before birth. [1]
Pathophysiology
Genetics
Pyridoxine 5' phosphate oxidase is an enzyme involved in conversion of dietary B6 to its active form pyridoxal 5' phosphate(PLP)[2]. This active form of vitamin B6 is useful in the metabolism of proteins and neurotransmitters of brain. PNPO gene mutations result in a pyridoxine 5' phosphate oxidase enzyme that is unable to metabolize pyridoxine and pyridoxamine, leading to a deficiency of PLP[3]. This results in disturbances in neurotransmitters in the brain and can cause seizures. This disease is inherited in a autosomal recessive fashion.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Pyridoxamine 5-prime-phosphate oxidase deficiency is a rare disease. Only 14 cases have been reported so far.[1]
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Babies are born with fetal distress and seizures within few hours of birth.
Complications
- Seizures
- Encephalopathy
- Developmental delay
