Fanconi-Bickel glycogenosis (FBG) is a rare glycogen storage disease characterized by hepatorenal glycogen accumulation, severe renal tubular dysfunction and impaired glucose and galactose metabolism.
Features include always present findings: Glycosuria, Impairment of galactose metabolism, Fasting hypoglycemia, and Generalized aminoaciduria; and common findings: Beta 2-microglobulinuria, Elevated circulating alkaline phosphatase concentration, Enlarged liver (hepatomegaly), and Postprandial hyperglycemia and others. 34 total HPO annotations.

SLC2A2 function has not been fully characterized.
Glycogen storage disease due to GLUT2 deficiency is associated with mutations in the SLC2A2 gene on chromosome 3.
Genetic testing for SLC2A2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for glycogen storage disease due to GLUT2 deficiency has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 4 always present features, 18 common features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
1 clinical trial registered, 1 recruiting. Interventions under study include other interventions and medical devices. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.
299 publications have been identified in PubMed for glycogen storage disease due to GLUT2 deficiency. Kisho has analyzed 87 by research type. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (43%), Basic Science / Preclinical (17%), and Case Report / Case Series (14%).
