Added comment: Boyle et al. (2016) reported 3 families with 5 affected individuals with proportionate short stature, developmental delay, and congenital heart defects. Enzymatic testing confirmed significantly reduced transketolase activity. Elevated urinary excretion of erythritol, arabitol, ribitol, and pent(ul)ose-5-phosphates was detected, as well as elevated amounts of erythritol, arabitol, and ribitol in the plasma of affected individuals. Transketolase deficiency reduces NADPH synthesis and nucleic acid synthesis and cell division.

Two of the families had the same variant ?founder.
