Megaloblastic anemia due to dihydrofolate reductase deficiency: An inborn error of metabolism, characterized by megaloblastic anemia and/or pancytopenia, severe cerebral folate deficiency, and cerebral tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency. Clinical features include variable neurologic symptoms, ranging from severe developmental delay and generalized seizures in infancy, to childhood absence epilepsy with learning difficulties, to lack of symptoms.
MalaCards based summary : Megaloblastic Anemia Due to Dihydrofolate Reductase Deficiency, also known as dhfr deficiency, is related to megaloblastic anemia and transcobalamin ii deficiency, and has symptoms including ataxia, icterus and absence seizures. An important gene associated with Megaloblastic Anemia Due to Dihydrofolate Reductase Deficiency is DHFR (Dihydrofolate Reductase), and among its related pathways/superpathways are One carbon pool by folate and Folate biosynthesis. Related phenotypes are ataxia and global developmental delay OMIM® : 57 Dihydrofolate reductase deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by the hematologic findings of megaloblastic anemia and variable neurologic symptoms, ranging from severe developmental delay and generalized seizures in infancy (Banka et al., 2011) to childhood absence epilepsy with learning difficulties to lack of symptoms (Cario et al., 2011). Treatment with folinic acid can ameliorate some of the symptoms. (613839) (Updated 05-Mar-2021) KEGG : 36 Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) deficiency is a recessive inborn error of metabolism characterized by megaloblastic anemia and cerebral folate deficiency, with variable neurological findings. It is caused by mutations in the DHFR gene. Wikipedia : 74 Dihydrofolate reductase, or DHFR, is an enzyme that reduces dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid,... more... |
