Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome (FBS) is a rare variety of glycogen storage disease (GSD). Characterized by massive hepatomegaly due to glycogen accumulation, severe hypophosphatemic rickets, and marked growth retardation due to proximal renal tubular dysfunction. We report a young boy presented as hypophosphatemic rickets with hepatomegaly and subsequently diagnosed as FBS.

Three French-Canadian children in a large inbred pedigree each developed hypocalcemic, hypophosphatemic rickets in the latter half of their first year of life; there were also manifestations of generalized renal tubular dysfunction. These abnormalities, which mimic advanced Vitamin D deficiency, disappeared only when Vitamin D2 or D3 was given at about 100 times the recommended daily allowance; this indicated the diagnosis of Vitamin D dependency. Enamel hypoplasia was a prominent clinical finding; only those teeth which calcify postnatally were affected, indicating that the condition found does not affect Vitamin D-dependent nutrition in utero. The level of parathyroid hormone was elevated in serum before treatment; it fell to normal either after treatment with Vitamin D, or during intravenous infusion with a calcium solution sufficient to produce hypercalcemia. Vitamin D dependency appeared to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait in this pedigree, but we could observe no phenotypic signs in presumably obligate heterozygotes. One of the three cases in the pedigree arose from outbreeding, suggesting that the mutant allele is probably not particularly rare in the population under our surveillance.

As indicated in the preceding sections of this review, it seems evident that renal diabetes insipidus, renal glycosuria, "cystinuria" and renal hyperchloremic acidosis are unquestionably renal tubular diseases. Vitamin D resistant rickets has tentatively been placed in the same category although it is recognized that the evidence for this classification is not yet thoroughly convincing. All of the findings of the Fanconi syndrome seem actually to represent a summation of the single tubular diseases, except "cystinosis." Known renal tubular dysfunction fails to explain the cystine-storage disease, cystinosis.
