Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is caused by aldolase B enzyme deficiency. There has been no report about HFI from Iran and the type of mutations has not been reported in the Iranian population so far.
Herein we report a 2 year old girl presented with failure to thrive, hepatomegaly, and liver dysfunction. The primary impression has been hepatic glycogen storage disease type 1 or 6. This diagnosis was not confirmed by laboratory data and liver biopsy. Therefore, targeted-gene sequencing (TGS) covering 450 genes involved in inborn errors in metabolic diseases was performed. The results of TGS showed a rare novel homozygous pathogenic variant c.944del (p.Gly315ValfsTer15) in the gene.
This report introduces a novel variant that expands the mutational spectrum of the gene in patients with HFI.
遗传性果糖不耐受症(HFI)由醛缩酶B酶缺乏引起。伊朗尚无关于HFI的报道,且迄今为止伊朗人群中尚未报道过相关突变类型。
在此,我们报告一名2岁女童,出现生长发育迟缓、肝肿大和肝功能障碍。初步诊断为1型或6型肝糖原贮积病。实验室数据和肝活检未证实该诊断。因此,进行了涵盖450个参与先天性代谢疾病基因的靶向基因测序(TGS)。TGS结果显示该基因存在一种罕见的新型纯合致病性变异c.944del(p.Gly315ValfsTer15)。
本报告介绍了一种新型变异,扩展了HFI患者中该基因的突变谱。
