- Treatment with oral sodium valproate significantly reduced the frequency of her seizures during meals, improving her overall symptoms.
Article Synopsis
- Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder affecting gluconeogenesis, leading to severe hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis in infants.
- A case study of a 1.5-year-old girl revealed symptoms like vomiting and failure to thrive, ultimately diagnosed through genetic testing that confirmed a mutation in the FBP1 gene.
- Management involved dietary changes to limit simple sugars and increase complex carbohydrates, highlighting the complexities of diagnosing rare metabolic disorders through genetic means.
