Fructose-1,6-diphosphatase deficiency (Q86969): Difference between revisions

Fructose 1,6 diphosphatase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of neoglucogenesis. It is characterised by recurrent, and sometimes life-threatening, episodes of fasting hypoglycaemia with lactic acidosis. Patients are asymptomatic between episodes or after ingestion of fructose. Treatment is based on frequent feeding for infants and young children with a diet enriched with glucose or maltodextrin and limited in fructose.
