Background: Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (FBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in the facilitative glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2 or SLC2A2) gene which codes for the glucose transporter protein 2 expressed in hepatocytes and renal tubular cells causing a defect in carbohydrate metabolism, hepatomegaly, severe hypophosphatemic rickets and failure to thrive.
Subjects And Methods: Among 17 unrelated Egyptian families with heritable renal tubular acidosis, three families clinically suspected as FBS were enrolled for this study after providing written informed consent. The three families had positive consanguinity and index cases with characteristic clinical features of FBS (hepatorenal glycogen accumulation, glucose and galactose intolerance, fasting hypoglycemia, a characteristic tubular nephropathy).

The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical manifestations and the most frequent causes of osteomalacia (OM) in a group of 28 patients diagnosed with this disorder during a 20-year period. OM was diagnosed by bone biopsy and/or by Bingham and Fitzpatrick criteria (two of the following: low calcium, low phosphate, elevated total alkaline phosphatase [total AP] or suggestive radiographs). Of these patients, 13 had vitamin D deficiency OM (VD-OM), 14 hypophosphatemic OM (HypoP-OM) and one had OM-associated hypophosphatasia.

The dentino-enamel junction is not an simple inert interface between two mineralized structures. A less simplistic view suggests that the dentino-enamel junctional complex should also include the inner aprismatic enamel and the mantle dentin. At early stages of enamel formation, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 is stored in and released from the inner aprismatic enamel, possibly under the control of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3.
