Abstract

We report 2 sequential homozygous mutations in the recently cloned proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT) gene, resulting in the absence of this protein, in a 27-year-old woman with hereditary folate malabsorption, normal in all respects having completed higher education, who has been treated with parenteral 5-formyltetrahydrofolate since infancy.
