A missense mutant form of RPIA (ribose 5-phosphate isomerase) fails to catalyze the reversible isomerization of ribose 5-phosphate (R5P) to ribulose 5-phosphate (RU5P). This enzyme defect was associated with a slowly progressive leukencephalopathy in the one patient who has been studied (Huck et al. 2004).
