Triose Phosphate Isomease Deficiency is a rare (less then 100 cases worldwide), autosomal recessive disorder first described in 1965.<Schneider, Arthur S.; William N. Valentine, Hattori M, H. L. Heins Jr (1965). "Hereditary Hemolytic Anemia with Triosephosphate Isomerase Deficiency". New England Journal of Medicine 272: 229–35> Symptoms include haemolytic anaemia, cardiomyopathy, an increased susceptibility to infections, severe neurological dysfunctions, and, often times, death in early childhood.
