Characterization of Novel Pathogenic Variants Causing Pyridox(am)ine 5′-Phosphate Oxidase-Dependent Epilepsy
Several variants of the enzyme pyridox(am)ine 5′-phosphate oxidase (PNPO), responsible for a rare form of vitamin B<sub>6</sub>-dependent neonatal epileptic encephalopathy known as PNPO deficiency (PNPOD), have been reported. However, only a few of them have been characterised with respe...
