Early-onset vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy

Definition

Early-onset vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy (EPVB6D) is an autosomal recessive disease, recently associated to mutations in PLPBP (PROSC) gene. PLPBP encodes a protein involved in pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) homeostasis. If patients are not effectively treated with vitamin B6 supplementation, they will have epilepsy with developmental delay early in life.
