Transaldolase deficiency is an inborn error of the pentose phosphate pathway that presents in the neonatal or antenatal period with hydrops fetalis, hepatosplenomegaly, hepatic dysfunction, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and renal and cardiac abnormalities.
Features include very common findings: Liver scarring (cirrhosis) (cirrhosis), Low red blood cell count (anemia), Hepatosplenomegaly, and Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) and others; and common findings: Telangiectasia, Abnormal clitoris morphology, Abnormality of the kidney, and Edema and others. 44 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Digestive system | 7 | Decreased liver function, Liver scarring (fibrosis) (hepatic fibrosis), Liver scarring (cirrhosis) (cirrhosis) |
TALDO1 function has not been fully characterized.
Transaldolase deficiency is associated with mutations in the TALDO1 gene on chromosome 11.
Genetic testing for TALDO1 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 6 very common features, 7 common features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for transaldolase deficiency.
10 publications have been identified in PubMed for transaldolase deficiency. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (50%), Epidemiology / Natural History (30%), and Other (10%).
