Abstract
The discoveries of new genes involved in cobalamin assimilation and metabolism has increased our understanding of the rare inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism (Quadros 2009). The following case documents a compound heterozygote mutation in the gastric intrinsic factor (GIF) gene, with a previously described mutation (c.79+1G>A) and a novel mutation (c.290T>C; M97T) leading to a megaloblastic anaemia in an adolescent.
