Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome

Definition

Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere Syndrome (BVVLS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by bulbar palsies and sensorineural deafness. BVVLS is mainly associated with defective riboflavin transporters encoded by the SLC52A2 and SLC52A3 genes. It has been suggested that riboflavin supplementation can ameliorate the progression of this neurodegenerative condition.
