Three boys and one girl suffering from inherited fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (FDPase) deficiency are reported. All four patients had less than 25% residual hepatic FDPase activity. While in two out of three patients the enzyme deficiency was also expressed in leucocytes, one patient had a normal enzyme activity. Remarkably, three patients had pronounced neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia requiring exchange transfusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
