Hartnup disease, or Hartnup disorder, [OMIM|234500] is an autosomal recessivecite journal |pmid=15286787 |year=2004 |month=Sep |author=Kleta R, Romeo E, Ristic Z, Ohura T, Stuart C, Arcos-Burgos M, Dave MH, Wagner CA, Camargo SR, Inoue S, Matsuura N, Helip-Wooley A, Bockenhauer D, Warth R, Bernardini I, Visser G, Eggermann T, Lee P, Chairoungdua A, Jutabha P, Babu E, Nilwarangkoon S, Anzai N, Kanai Y, Verrey F, Gahl WA, Koizumi A |title=Mutations in SLC6A19, encoding B0AT1, cause Hartnup disorder |volume=36 |issue=9 |pages=999-1002 |doi=10.1038/ng1405 |journal=Nature genetics] metabolic disorder affecting the absorption of neutral amino acids (particularly tryptophan that can be, in turn, converted into Serotonin, Melatonin and Niacin). Niacin is a precursor to nicotinamide, a necessary component of NAD+.

The causative gene, SLC6A19, is located on chromosome 5.cite journal |pmid=15286788 |doi=10.1038/ng1406 |year=2004 |month=Sep |author=Seow HF, Bröer S, Bröer A, Bailey CG, Potter SJ, Cavanaugh JA, Rasko JE |title=Hartnup disorder is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the neutral amino acid transporter SLC6A19 |volume=36 |issue=9 |pages=1003-1007 |journal=Nature genetics]

ymptoms

Hartnup disease manifest during infancy with variable clinical presentation: failure to thrive, photosensitivity, intermittent ataxia, nystagmus and tremor.

Nicotinamide is necessary for neutral amino acid transporter production in the proximal renal tubules found in the kidney, and intestinal mucosal cells found in the small intestine. Therefore, a symptom stemming from this disorder results in increased amounts of amino acids in the urine.

Pellagra is also caused by low nicotinamide; this disorder results in dermatitis, diarrhea and dementia.
