One of several progressive neurologic disorder in which a riboflavin transporter gene is implicated. See the human disease model report 'riboflavin transporter deficiency neuronopathy' (FBhh0000799) for information about fly models of this and related diseases.

Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and a variety of cranial nerve palsies, usually involving the motor components of the seventh and ninth to twelfth (more rarely the third, fifth, and sixth) cranial nerves. Hearing loss tends to precede the onset of neurologic signs, mostly progressive muscle weakness causing respiratory compromise. [from MIM:211530; 2018.05.02]
Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome-1 (BVVLS1), a form of progressive bulbar palsy with sensorineural deafness, is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the SLC52A3 gene. [from MIM:211530; 2018.05.02]
SLC52A3 is a transmembrane protein that mediates cellular uptake of riboflavin. [from MIM:613350; 2018.05.02]
