Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wernicke's disease is caused by a deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1), which can result from chronic alcoholism or malnutrition. Thiamine is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system and deficiency can lead to damage in parts of the brain including the thalamus and hypothalamus, resulting in the symptoms of Wernicke's disease. Anemia, lack of melanin, and abnormalities on chromosome 4 are not directly associated with this disease.
