Riboflavin Transporter Deficiency

Riboflavin transporter deficiency is a rare inherited condition in which the body cannot move vitamin B2 (riboflavin) into cells properly. It damages nerves over time, causing hearing loss, weakness of the face, tongue and throat muscles, breathing difficulty and limb weakness. High-dose riboflavin supplements are the main treatment and work best when started early.
