SLC2A2 GENE ANALYSIS IN FANCONI-BICKEL SYNDROME
Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (Glycogen storage disease type XI) is an autosomal recessive disorder of carbohydrate metabolism caused by disease-causing variants in SLC2A2. Fanconi-Bickel syndrome presents in early infancy and is characterised by the association of hepatomegaly, hypoglycaemia and severe hypophosphataemic rickets and marked growth retardation due to proximal renal tubular dysfunction.
