AbstractFructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) enzyme deficiency is one of the treatable autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorders. If diagnosed early, FBPase deficiency has a favorable prognosis. We report the clinical and biochemical findings of a 9.5-year-old female child with FBPase deficiency. FBPase deficiency is caused by a homozygousArthrobacter luteus (Alu)insertion in theFBP1gene, reported for the first time.

AbstractObjectivesFructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency (FBPase deficiency, OMIM 229700) is an early-onset rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the FBP1 gene.Case presentationOur patient was 17-years-old when she was diagnosed with the disease. Initial sequencing analysis with Ion Torrent technology failed to detect the gross deletion that covered complete exon 2 (c.-24-26_170 + 5192del) of FBP1 gene and caused the delay in diagnosis. Deletion was then detected when sequencing was performed in an Illumina MiSeq platform.ConclusionsThis case emphasizes the importance of sequencing data analysis for precise diagnosis of rare diseases and therapy planning.

Background: In children, chronic immune-mediated neuropathies present with slowly progressive or relapsing episodes of gait difficulty, symmetric weakness and sometimes paraesthesia. Infancy and early childhood age of presentation and familial recurrence are believed to be atypical features. Case presentation: Herein, we describe two brothers from a non- consanguineous Iraqi family, who presented with episodes of acute immune-mediated demyelinating peripheral neuropathy in early infancy that relapsed recurrently. Mild haemolytic anaemia was also reported. Inherited metabolic disorders were suspected and Whole Exome Sequencing of the youngest brother revealed homozygous frame shift mutation in CD59 gene, confirming the diagnosis of autosomal recessive hemolytic anemia, CD59-mediated, with or without immune-mediated polyneuropathy (HACD59). Conclusion: The report highlights the advantage of genetic testing in such rare and inherited conditions. In the lack of necessary non-traditional diagnostic methods, it is substantial to maintain the accustomed medical practice and strategies, based on available clinical data.

Inherited metabolic disorders can cause heart diseases, cardiomyopathy in particular, as well as cardiac arrhythmias, valvular and coronary diseases. More than 40 different inherited metabolic disorders can provoke cardiomyopathy, including lysosomal storage disorders, fatty acid oxidation defects, organic acidemias, amino acidopathies, glycogen storage diseases, congenital disorders of glycosylation as well as peroxisomal and mitochondrial disorders. If identified and diagnosed on time, some of congenital metabolic diseases could be successfully treated. It is important to assume them in cases when heart diseases are etiologically undefined. Rapid technological development has made it easier to establish the diagnosis of these diseases. This article will focus on common inherited metabolic disorders that cause heart diseases, as well as on diseases that might be possible to treat.
