Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Vitamin B12 is primarily transported from plasma to cells by Transcobalamin. Deficiency of Transcobalamin is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that results in unavailability of cobalamin in cells and accumulation of homocysteine and methylmalonic acid.
CASE REPORT: We report a case of a 2-year-old male child with persistent pancytopenia, recurrent infections, and megaloblastic anemia. Next-generation sequencing identified a novel variant in exon 8 of TCN2 gene. Substantial improvement has been observed following administration of high doses of parenteral methylcobalamin.
CONCLUSION: In patients with unresolved pancytopenia and megaloblastic anemia, Transcobalamin deficiency should be investigated and treated promptly to prevent any irreversible and harmful outcome.
