Biotin-Thiamine-Responsive Basal Ganglia Disease: A Case Report
This case highlights the fact that genetic testing remains a vital but improvable tool for the diagnosis of BTBGD. As of yet, genetic testing and diagnosis of BTBGD continues to be limited by the knowledge of which SLC19A3 variants are established to be pathogenic variants. Thus, further research is required to study other SCL19A3 variants of unknown significance to further improve genetic testing and diagnosis of BTBGD in the future.
