Abstract
Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (FBS) is an example of proximal Renal tubular dysfunction due to a single gene disorder, it is caused by defects in the facilitative glucose transporter 2 gene that codes for the glucose transporter protein 2 expressed in hepatocytes, pancreatic β-cells, enterocytes and renal tubular cells. It is a rare inherited disorder of carbohydrate metabolism manifested by failure to thrive, hepatomegaly, severe hypophosphatemic rickets and proximal renal tubular dysfunction.
