Fanconi-Bickel syndrome

Fanconi Bickel syndrome is an autosomal recessive glycogen storage disease caused by mutations of the SLC2A2 gene. It is characterized by glycogen accumulation in both kidney and liver. The symptoms include renotubular dysfunction, failure to thrive, and hepatospenomegaly.

Historical Aspects

The syndrome was first described by Fanconi and Bickel in 1949.[Error: Macro 'ref' doesn't exist]

Symptoms

Proximal tubular damage syndrome
Fanconi syndrome was the general term describing all diseases with procimal tubular damage until distinct diseases have been characterized.
