Bihlmaier K, Mesecke N, Terziyska N, Bien M, Hell K, et al. A defect in fatty acid β-oxidation causes lipid accumulation in skeletal muscles, leading to lipid storage myopathy characterized by muscle pain and weakness and exercise intolerance. Other tumors such as paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma, pituitary adenoma, and renal carcinoma have also demonstrated SDHA germline mutations[117-121]. Urinary thiosulfate is also markedly elevated[149]. (PubMed), 45. Riboflavin (Vitamin B 2) Riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin that is an essential component of flavoproteins, which are coenzymes involved in many metabolic pathways of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. APCs [111] 2003 reported three affected siblings in a consanguineous family presenting with early onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, truncal hypotonia, feeding difficulties, growth retardation, and early death within the first year of life.

Riboflavin-responsive oxidative phosphorylation complex I deficiency caused by defective ACAD9: new function for an old gene. The X-linked AIFM1 gene encodes the apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), a mitochondrial flavoprotein with a dual role, first as a FAD-dependent NADH oxidoreductase and second as a caspase-independent death effector which regulates apoptosis[153,154]. A possible genotype-phenotype correlation has been proposed with homozygous carriers of frameshift variants affecting the MPTb domain displaying a more severe clinical course than that observed in individuals harboring single amino acid changes in the FADS domain that are potentially more responsive to riboflavin therapy[34]. 1. 72. Enzymatic testing revealed isolated Complex IV deficiency or combined deficiencies of Complexes I-IV. Mitochondrial membrane associated FDXR reduces the ferredoxins, FDX1 and FDX2, and transfers electrons from NADPH to the mitochondrial cytochrome P450 system, thus initiating the mitochondrial electron transport chain reaction[83].

However, a 10-year follow up of an intervention trial in patients at high risk for gastric (stomach) cancer found that dietary supplementation with minerals and vitamins, including riboflavin (3.2 mg/day) and niacin (40 mg/day), for five years failed to decrease the incidence or mortality rate of gastric cancer (50). In 2011, Heeringa et al. A prospective study of more than 50,000 women did not observe a difference between rates of cataract extraction between women in the highest quintile of riboflavin intake (median of 1.5 mg/day) and women in the lowest quintile (median of 1.2 mg/day) (33). 2013;24(8):1555-1563.

[79] (2010) also characterized the human GFER/ALR protein and demonstrated that the R194H led to marked loss of protein stability by an increased rate of FAD dissociation and enhanced proteolysis susceptibility with only minimal effect on enzymatic activity. A mutation in the flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent oxidoreductase FOXRED1 results in cell-type-specific assembly defects in oxidative phosphorylation complexes I and II. Severe riboflavin deficiency can decrease the conversion of tryptophan to NAD and NADP, increasing the risk of niacin deficiency (3). Along with other B vitamins, higher riboflavin intakes have been associated with decreased plasma homocysteine levels (11). Typical Leigh syndrome[88,107]and late-onset Leigh syndrome have been reported[95,103]. They are critical for the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Nouws J, Te Brinke H, Nijtmans LG, Houten SM. Coleraine, United Kingdom, Reviewed in December 2013 by:  Yaplito-Lee J. Riboflavin metabolism: role in mitochondrial function. Crystal structure of human riboflavin kinase reveals a beta barrel fold and a novel active site arch. Riboflavin acts as a cofactor for MTHFR and is therefore needed to generate 5-methyltetrahydrofolate required in the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine (see Figure 2 above). Primary trimethylaminuria is caused by defective oxidation of trimethylamine by a liver flavoprotein called flavin containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3). Mol Genet Metab 2009;96:196-200. Dietary intakes however were generally found to compare favorably with recommended values, except in young women who had low intakes. Li GM, Cao Q, Shen Q, Sun L, Zhai YH, et al.

The conversion of homocysteine to methionine is of importance for homocysteine detoxification and for the production of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the methyl donor for the methylation of DNA and histones. Deficiency of complex II of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in late-onset optic atrophy and ataxia. Apart from visual problems, i.e., retinitis pigmentosa and/or optic atrophy, and hearing loss, this cohort of 13 unrelated patients also had other clinical features such as hypotonia, global developmental delay, axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy, regression after febrile illness, ataxia, failure to thrive, progressive microcephaly, and encephalopathy[85]. Glutathione reductase is an FAD-dependent enzyme that participates in the redox cycle of glutathione. A meta-analysis of such studies showed that individuals who are homozygous for the MTHFR C677T gene variant had a significantly higher risk of CVD (by 14 to 21%) compared to those without this polymorphism, but there was a large amount of geographical variation in the increased CVD risk (36), strongly suggesting that dietary factors can modulate the disease risk related to this genetic factor. Molecules 2018;23:116-31. 126. However, studies are needed to assess the potential benefit of riboflavin supplementation in reducing perinatal complications specifically in preeclamptic women with the C677T genotype. MADD, also known as type II glutaric aciduria (or acidemia), is a fatty acid metabolism disorder characterized by the accumulation of short-, medium-, and long-chain acyl-carnitines in various tissues. Riboflavin-responsive complex I deficiency. Berger I, Ben-Neriah Z, Dor-Wolman T, Shaag A, Saada A, et al. 73. It has been proposed that the partial response to riboflavin supplementation and residual FADS activity described in patients with biallelic frameshift mutations in exon 2 of FLAD1 may be attributed to the existence of a FADS isoform that lacks exon 2, but has an intact and functional FADS domain[34]. Correcting a marginal riboflavin deficiency improves hematologic status in young women in the United Kingdom (RIBOFEM). The second study was a cross-over trial with half of the 42 children, aged 6 to 13, receiving 50 mg/day riboflavin for 16 weeks then placebo (100 mg/day carotene) for 16 weeks with a four-week washout period in between, while the other half were first given the placebo then riboflavin (56).

More recently, human ACAD9 was showed to be a bifunctional enzyme involving primarily oxidative phosphorylation Complex I biogenesis, with an additional moonlighting function in fatty acid oxidation (FAO)[50]. Exome sequencing identifies complex I NDUFV2 mutations as a novel cause of Leigh syndrome. Finally, secondary deficiencies in the respiratory chain are observed in MADD and appear to respond favorably to riboflavin supplementation (58, 59). Interestingly, developmental delay and severe intellectual disability were only seen with early disease onset[51]. Nat Rev Neurosci 2012;13:157-68. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 93 subjects with colorectal polyps and 86 healthy subjects were given either a placebo, folic acid (400 or 1,200 mcg/day), or folic acid (400 mcg/day) plus riboflavin (5 mg/day) for 45 days. Characteristic clinical manifestations included early infantile onset hypotonia, swallowing, speech difficulties, respiratory insufficiencies, and a fatal course (seven died within the first year of life and one at age 16 years). Interestingly, riboflavin enhanced the effect of 400 mcg folic acid on circulating 5-methyl tetrahydrafolate (5-MeTH4) specifically in the polyp patients with the C677T genetic variant (43).

Succinic dehydrogenase subunit A (SDHA), a flavoprotein with FAD as cofactor, is a nuclear encoded and catalytic subunit of Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) which oxidizes succinate to fumarate in the Kreb’s cycle and transfers electrons to ubiquinone in the mitochondrial electron transport chain[115]. Riboflavin functions in several different enzyme systems. Additionally, a prospective cohort study of 88,045 postmenopausal women found total (dietary plus supplemental) intake of riboflavin to be inversely correlated with colorectal cancer risk when comparing the highest (>3.97 mg) and lowest (<1.80 mg) quartiles of daily intake (44); intake in the reference group was well above the RDA of 1.1 mg/day. The first patient described by Taylor et al. 84. Cambridge: The Royal Society of Chemistry Publishing; 2013. pp. This combined exposure has produced some encouraging results with amelioration of some neurological abnormalities and marked attenuation or disappearance of the vascular lesions and diarrhea[150], suggesting disease modification from the invariably fatal clinical course of EE[151].
