Beriberi is a Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Deficiency
4. Genetic Beriberi
Most cases of beriberi occur sporadically. But in rare cases, parents pass down a type to their children that prevents their bodies from absorbing thiamin from foods. This condition can progress slowly, and symptoms develop in adulthood. People with this kind of beriberi require regular thiamin supplements to maintain healthy levels of vitamin B1.
