    Notes: Abstract Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (FBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of carbohydrate metabolism recently demonstrated to be caused by mutations in Glut2, the gene for the glucose transporter protein 2 expressed in liver, pancreas, intestine and kidney. The disease was first described in a 3-year-old Swiss boy in 1949. Here we report a follow up of this original patient over more than 50 years and show that the typical clinical and laboratory findings of FBS (hepatomegaly secondary to glycogen accumulation, glucose and galactose intolerance, fasting hypoglycaemia, a characteristic proximal tubular nephropathy and severe short stature) persist into adulthood. We further summarize the historical observations that eventually led to the identification of the basic defect of FBS and give an overview of the 82 cases from 70 families in the published literature and from personal communications. Conclusion Although with the first description of a congenital defect of facilitative glucose transport the main steps in the pathophysiology of Fanconi-Bickel syndrome have been elucidated, numerous pathophysiological mechanisms are far from clear and thus encourage the ongoing study of patients with this disorder.

    Glycogen storage disease type Ib (1983)
    Springer
    European journal of pediatrics 140 (1983), S. 283-288 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1076
    Keywords: Glycogen storage disease

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Glycogen storage disease type Ib has all the clinical manifestations of glycogen storage disease type Ia such as hepatomegaly, growth retardation, bleeding tendency, hypoglycemia, hyperlactacidemia, hyperuricemia, hyperlipidemia, impaired platelet function plus neutropenia. The overall glucose-6-phosphatase activity in disrupted microsomes from liver is normal whereas glucose-6-phosphate translocase, the first enzyme in the glucose-6-phosphate transport system is absent. There is no glucose-6-phosphatase activity in vivo. Recent results show that in granulocytes the glucose-6-phosphate-dependent hexosemonophosphate-shunt is impaired.

    Glycogen storage disease: recommendations for treatment (1988)
    Springer
    European journal of pediatrics 147 (1988), S. 226-228 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1076
    Keywords: Glycogen storage disease ; Glucose-6-phosphatase ; Glucose-6-phosphate translocase ; Debranching enzyme ; Phosphorylase-6-kinase
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract A workshop was held on “Aspects of treatment of patients with glycogen storage disease” within the framework of the Concerted Action “Inborn errors of metabolism” of the European Communities. Consensus was reached on the main issues of treatment of patients with deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate translocase, debranching enzyme, liver phosphorylase and phosphorylase-b-kinase. The resulting recommendations are reported.
