Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Familial Renal Glucosuria (FRG) is characterized by the presence of persistent isolated glucosuria in the absence of hyperglycemia. Mutations in SLC5A2, the gene coding for the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), are responsible for FRG. Phenotype/genotype correlations in FRG have mostly relied on the quantification of Urinary Glucose Excretion (UGE), which is dependent on both the filtered...
