Abstract
In the scientific literature it has been repeatedly hypothesized that there is a heritable susceptibility to thiamine deficiency comparable to other hereditary metabolic disorders. The aim of this paper is to review the most recent knowledge on the genetic susceptibility to the development of alcohol-related Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS).
