Pediatric Research Laboratory, Soroka Medical Center, Beer Sheva, Israel.

The clinical and biochemical data on nine patients belonging to six families with fructose-1,6-diphosphatase deficiency are reported. Two of the six families were Jewish, three were Moslem Arabs and one was of Druze origin. All patients had had neonatal hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis and an abnormal fructose or glycerol loading test. At a later age, instances of hypoglycemia occurred in patients both with and without preceding illness. Hypoglycemic attacks were associated with severe hyperuricemia and metabolic acidosis. Therapeutic measures included a restriction in fructose intake and avoidance of prolonged fasting, particularly during febrile episodes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007003	Hypoglycemia	A syndrome of abnormally low BLOOD GLUCOSE level. Clinical hypoglycemia has diverse etiologies. Severe hypoglycemia eventually lead to glucose deprivation of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM resulting in HUNGER; SWEATING; PARESTHESIA; impaired mental function; SEIZURES; COMA; and even DEATH.

D015319	Fructose-1,6-Diphosphatase Deficiency	An autosomal recessive fructose metabolism disorder due to absent or deficient fructose-1,6-diphosphatase activity. Gluconeogenesis is impaired, resulting in accumulation of gluconeogenic precursors (e.g., amino acids, lactate, ketones) and manifested as hypoglycemia, ketosis, and lactic acidosis. Episodes in the newborn infant are often lethal. Later episodes are often brought on by fasting and febrile infections. As patients age through early childhood, tolerance to fasting improves and development becomes normal.
