Abstract:

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency (FBP1D), a rare inherited metabolic disorder, may lead to severe neurological sequelae if not treated promptly and effectively. We report a case of FBP1D diagnosed through trio-whole exome sequencing (trio-WES). The NM_000507.4(FBP1) c.977T>C variant in this patient has not been reported in China. We summarized and analyzed the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of 31 Chinese FBP1D patients from literature. The typical clinical manifestations included hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, gastrointestinal symptoms, and impaired consciousness, with the infection being the most common triggering factor. Genetic analysis revealed that the c.960dup variant in the FBP1 gene is the most prevalent variant among Chinese patients. Enhancing clinicians′ awareness of FBP1D can facilitate early diagnosis and active intervention, thereby significantly improve patient prognosis.
