ISOLATED SEDOHEPTULOKINASE DEFICIENCY

Alternate names

ISOLATED SEDOHEPTULOKINASE DEFICIENCY Is also known as isolated shpk deficiency

Description

SHPK deficiency is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism characterized by increased urinary erythritol and sedoheptulose. Additional phenotypic consequences of this deficiency are unclear (summary by Wamelink et al., 2015).
