Abstract
Three brothers with diabetes mellitus, thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia, and sensorineural deafness are reported. Two had, in addition, congenital septal defects. The activities of thiamine-dependent enzymes were determined in one patient, revealing low alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity, which could have caused a sideroblastic anemia with secondary megaloblastic changes. The anemia was thiamine dependent. The cause of the diabetes mellitus was not known, but it was not type 1.Entities:
