Evidence for a Genotype–Phenotype Correlation in Patients with Pathogenic <i>GLUT2</i> (<i>SLC2A2</i>) Variants

Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (FBS) is a very rare but distinct clinical entity with the combined features of hepatic glycogen storage disease, generalized proximal renal tubular dysfunction with disproportionately severe glucosuria, and impaired galactose tolerance. Here, we report five cases (out of 93...

They come from 3 families and presented with an exceptionally mild clinical course. This course was correlated to data from old and most recent expression and transport studies in <i>Xenopus</i> oocytes. <i>GLUT2</i> genotype in patients 1 and 2 was p.[153_4delLI];[P417R] with the first variant exhibiting normal membrane expression and partially retained transport activity (5.8%) for 2-deoxyglucose.
