Liquid riboflavin is available but is often difficult to obtain; therefore, riboflavin capsules are often opened and mixed with food such as yogurt. The amount of riboflavin supplementation varies depending on the severity of the disease and response of the individual to the treatment. When riboflavin supplementation is given earlier in the disease course, the response can be very good; if given later in the disease course, the response is less, likely reflecting the effect of existing neuronal damage.</p><p>Because oral riboflavin supplementation is effective (and possibly lifesaving), it should begin as soon as a riboflavin transporter deficiency is suspected and continued lifelong unless <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/molecular-genetic-testing/">molecular genetic testing</a> fails to identify <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/biallelic/">biallelic</a> pathogenic variants in either <i>SLC52A2</i> or <i>SLC52A3</i>.</p><p>Supportive care includes respiratory support; physiotherapy to avoid contractures; occupational therapy to support activities of daily living; orthotics for limb and trunk bracing; speech and language therapy to avoid choking and respiratory problems; wheelchair as needed; low vision aids as needed; routine management of scoliosis to avoid long-term respiratory problems; and routine management of depression.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> At three months and six months after initiation of riboflavin supplementation, routine follow-up physical and neurologic examinations, measurement of blood riboflavin/FAD/FMN, and analysis of blood acylcarnitine profile. Thereafter, follow up is usually biannually in older individuals and more frequently in younger children.</p><p><i>Agents/circumstances to avoid:</i> Dietary restriction of riboflavin and strenuous physical activity.</p><p><i>Evaluation of relatives at risk:</i> When the <i>SLC52A2</i> or <i>SLC52A3</i> pathogenic variants in the family are known, it is appropriate to perform <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/molecular-genetic-testing/">molecular genetic testing</a> on the older and younger sibs of an affected individual to identify as early as possible those who are affected and would benefit from early treatment with riboflavin supplementation and monitoring for potential complications of the disorder.</p><p><i>Pregnancy management:</i> A diet rich in ribolflavin is recommended for women who have RTD or are <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/heterozygous/">heterozygous</a> for a <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/pathogenic-variant/">pathogenic variant</a> in either <i>SLC52A2</i> or <i>SLC52A3.</i> If necessary, riboflavin supplements should be taken before and during pregnancy and when breast feeding to avoid inducing riboflavin deficiency in the baby.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p>RTD caused by <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/biallelic/">biallelic</a> pathogenic variants in either <i>SLC52A2</i> (RTD2) or <i>SLC52A3</i> (RTD3) is inherited in an <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/autosomal-recessive/">autosomal recessive</a> manner.
