Promising New BVVL Treatment

We are pleased to share the work done by Dr. Bosch and colleagues in the Netherlands in the Division of Metabolic Disorders at University Hospital of Amsterdam (See initial article and contact information below). Around the same time that the first gene was documented (2010), Dr. Bosch's team was working on high dose riboflavin (Vitamin B2) supplementation in patients who had RTD and a similar disease, Fazio Londe.

In October 2012, Dr. Bosch's team published a review on the literature of RTD and Fazio Londe syndromes, with recommendations for treatment. The following link has open access with a provisional PDF; however, you may email us directly for a copy from our library: http://www.ojrd.com/content/7/1/83/abstract

Please visit our Research Highlights page for ongoing reports of riboflavin supplementation in the literature.

Ongoing Research

When this web site was founded in 2008, a large collaborative effort among physicians and researchers in the United Kingdom and the United States were studying tissue from at least ten families affected by the disease in order to learn which genetic mechanism(s) is responsible for RTD. March 4, 2010, brought forth the first publication of a RTD genetic finding, on C20orf54 (See below). Since that time, other genes have been named in the RTD and FL disease processes. However, more samples from affected families are needed in order to expand this research, as well as ongoing research towards a cure.
