Abstract:Purpose
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) deficiency, caused by an FBP1 mutation, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypoglycemic lactic acidosis. The mechanism by which the mutations cause enzyme activity loss is uncertain.
Methods
We performed whole-exome sequencing in an adult patient with severe hypoglycemic lactic acidosis and identified that the patient carried compound heterozygous missense mutations of FBP1 with c.491G > A (p.G164D) and c.581T > C (p.F194S).
