This enzyme, a key enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis, plays an important role in the conversion of sucrose and other carbohydrates into energy needed for metabolic processes. The pathology leads to a disruption of carbohydrate metabolism and the accumulation of intermediate metabolites, as a result of which patients may experience a variety of clinical manifestations, including growth failure, muscle weakness, and other symptoms associated with metabolic disorders.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 counter-flat ez-toc-counter

of the disease and interesting historical facts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The history of the discovery of triosephosphate isomerase deficiency is rich in significant scientific achievements. The first mentions of the disease date back to the 1920s, when cases of carbohydrate metabolism disorders in children were recorded. As biochemistry and molecular genetics developed in the 1970s, the structure and function of enzymes involved in glycolysis began to be studied. In the 1980s, observations of a family affected by this disease attracted the attention of scientists, which contributed to a deeper understanding of the biochemical mechanisms associated with triosephosphate isomerase. This disease, although rare, has become the subject of active research, which has made it possible to identify many mutations in the genes responsible for the synthesis of the enzyme.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%AD%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F\"><\/span>Epidemiology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Triosephosphate isomerase deficiency is extremely rare, with an estimated incidence of about 1 in 500,000\u20131,000,000 live births. Cases have been observed worldwide, according to disease registries. The disorder is most often diagnosed in children with signs of metabolic disorders, which usually begin in the first months of life. Given the rarity of the disorder, it is difficult to collect sufficient statistical data to establish clear trends in prevalence. However, reported cases support a genetic basis and familial predisposition.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%93%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C_%D0%BA_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%83_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8E\"><\/span>Genetic predisposition to this disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Triose phosphate isomerase deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Approximately 90% cases are caused by mutations in the TPI1 gene, which is located on chromosome 12. This mutation results in impaired enzyme function, causing toxic by-products to accumulate in cells. There are over 50 known mutations, most of which are point mutations that result in a single amino acid substitution, significantly reducing enzyme activity. Familial predisposition to the disease has been associated with the identification of mutation carriers, indicating the need for genetic counseling for family members.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8B_%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F\"><\/span>Risk factors for the development of this disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Currently, risk factors that contribute to the development of triose phosphate isomerase deficiency are primarily associated with genetic inheritance.
