A novel mutation of the GLUT2 gene in a Turkish patient with Fanconi-Bickel syndrome.
Fanconi-Bickel syndrome is a rare inherited disorder of carbohydrate metabolism. The disease is characterized by the association of a massive hepatomegaly due to glycogen accumulation, severe hypophosphatemic rickets and marked growth retardation due to proximal renal tubular dysfunction. Fanconi-Bickel syndrome is a single gene disease and is caused by defects in the facilitative glucose trans...
متن کاملFanconi-Bickel Syndrome - Mutation in SLC2A2 Gene
Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome (FBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of carbohydrate metabolism. The defect in the GLUT 2 receptors in the hepatocytes, pancreas and renal tubules leads to symptoms secondary to glycogen storage, glucose metabolism and renal tubular dysfunction. Derangement in glucose metabolism is classical with fasting hypoglycemia and post-prandial hyperglycemia. The authors r...
متن کاملAn Indian girl with Fanconi-Bickel syndrome without SLC2A2 gene mutation.
Fanconi-Bickel syndrome is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder caused by defects in the facilitative glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) gene. It is characterized by hepatorenal glycogen accumulation, tubular nephropathy and impaired utilization of glucose and galactose. In this communication, we present the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented with deforming rickets and massive hepatomegaly. Live...

A one year eight month old male child and his nine month old female sibling were presented with Growth retardation, abdominal distension, doll-like faces, hepatomegaly, phosphaturia, proximal renal tubular dysfunction. The elder sibling also presented with glucosuria, hyperglycemia, hypoinsulinemia. The younger one later presented with galactosemia. Biopsy of liver on these two patients reveale...
متن کاملFanconi Bickel Syndrome: A Rare Entity
Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (FBS) is a rare inherited glycogen storage disease (GSD) caused by defects in facilitative Glucose Transporter (GLUT2) gene that codes for the glucose transporter protein 2 expressed in hepatocytes, pancreatic beta cells, enterocytes, and renal tubular cells. The clinical picture is characterized by glycogen accumulation in liver and kidney resulting in hepatomegaly and ...
