Brain function: Brain fog, memory problems, cognitive impairment, insomnia, headaches (especially migraine), behavioural changes, learning problems, nominal aphasia Mood: Mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, delusions, psychosis Sensory: Peripheral paraesthesia (pins and needles), numbness, neuropathic pains, poor balance, reduced vibration sense or proprioception (joint position sense), tinnitus, ataxia, taste impairment, sometimes myelopathy Constitutional: Fatigue, anaemia (either macrocytic, or normocytic when also iron deficient or associated with thalassaemia minor), other cytopenia, abdominal complaints, malabsorption, failure to thrive, weight loss, diarrhoea, hyperpigmentation, glossitis, (aphthous) stomatitis, infertility, urinary tract infections Motor: Muscle weakness, altered reflexes (increased in degeneration of the spinal cord, reduced when peripheral neuropathy dominates), spasticity, seizures, cardiomyopathy Autonomic: Urinary and/or faecal incontinence, postural hypotension or dizziness, erectile dysfunction Diagnosing B 12 deficiency can be challenging because no single specific measurement exists to reliably diagnose or refute the presence of B 12 deficiency 11 12 26 27 (box 2)

Glutamine-mediated glycosylation of proteins, including growth factor receptors, can direct proteins to the cell surface and induce their activation
Realistic expectations matter here
Similar to the situation in MYC-driven cancer cells, glutamine uptake is enhanced in K-Ras-driven cells via upregulation of SLC1A5 181
