Hartnup disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the SLC6A19 gene, which encodes a tranporter of neutral amino acids expressed in both the kidney and intestine. Symptoms include pellgra-like dematitis, ataxia, and emotional instability.
Type 1 includes enteral and renal resorption of neutral amino acids while in type 2 renal resorption is deficient only.
The prevalence of Hartnup disease is about 1 in 100,000.
