Assay Background

The liver isoenzyme Aldolase B is critical for sugar metabolism, and a catalytic deficiency due to mutations in its gene may result in hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) syndrome, with hypoglycaemia and severe abdominal symptoms.
The autosomal recessive disorder HFI is a potentially lethal inborn error in metabolism and the disease poses diagnostic problems because of in part very unspecific clinical manifestations. The present aldolase B PCR test is useful for the detection of the three most common mutations critical for gluconeogenesis and fructose metabolism: A149P (60%), A174D (11%) and N334K (8%). These mutations may account together for more than 80% of all known mutations causing HFI and their screening will be helpful for suited therapy of afflicted patients.
The G>C mutation at bp position 448 results in an amino acid exchange (from alanine to praline) at position 150 (earlier 149). Frequency of that mutation is 1:250 in Caucasians and disease by homozygous presence of C-allele is about 1:50000 (=0.002%).
