SORD

On this page, you will find information about a genetic change that was identified in a UDN participant. We are trying to find others with the same or similar condition.

Sharing information on this website is not a requirement of UDN participation. Only descriptions about participants who give explicit consent will appear here.

A change in this gene was identified in a UDN participant with elevated creatinine kinase levels, breakdown of muscle tissue (rhabdomyolysis), and discoloration of urine (pigmenturia) (read full description).

Date of Report

Full Name

Sorbitol Dehydrogenase

Location

Chromosome 15 (15q21.1)

Function

SORD encodes a protein known as sorbitol dehydrogenase. This protein is important for the catalzyation of polyols and their corresponding ketoses. Sorbitol dehydrogenase also oxidizes sorbitol into fructose by using NAD(+) cofactor (Carr and Markham, 1995).
