Transcobalamin II Deficiency

Transcobalamin II deficiency is a rare inherited condition in which the body cannot transport vitamin B12 from the blood into cells. Babies usually become unwell in the first months of life with poor feeding, failure to thrive, anaemia, low immunity and developmental delay. It is treated with lifelong high-dose vitamin B12 injections, and early treatment gives the best outcome for growth and development.

This overview is general information, not an individual medical assessment. Research is selected automatically and may include mismatches. How we select and explain research.

Transcobalamin II Deficiency is very rare and little research has been published, so this page includes research from every year, including case reports about individual patients. Case reports are marked, and describe one person's experience rather than tested results.
