Primary congenital alactasia, also called congenital lactase deficiency, is an extremely rare, autosomal recessive enzyme defect that prevents lactase expression from birth. [2] People with congenital lactase deficiency cannot digest lactose from birth, so cannot digest breast milk.
Lactose intolerance in infants (congenital lactase deficiency) is caused by mutations in the LCT gene. Mutations are believed to interfere with the function of lactase, causing affected infants to have a severely impaired ability to digest lactose in breast milk or formula. [24]
HFI is caused by a deficiency of fructose 1,6-biphosphate aldolase in the liver, kidney cortex and small intestine. Infants and adults are asymptomatic unless they ingest fructose or sucrose. [citation needed] Deficiency of hepatic fructose 1,6-biphosphate (FBPase) causes impaired gluconeogenesis, hypoglycemia and severe metabolic acidemia.
Glucose-galactose malabsorption generally becomes apparent in the first few weeks of a baby's life. Affected infants experience severe diarrhea resulting in life-threatening dehydration, increased acidity of the blood and tissues (), and weight loss when fed breast milk or regular infant formulas.
Now, in super rare cases, lactase deficiency can be a congenital, meaning infants would be deficient from birth. This is an autosomal recessive disorder and infants that can’t break down lactose have trouble with breastmilk, and develop diarrhea starting from birth.
Four novel mutations in the lactase gene (LCT) underlying congenital lactase deficiency (CLD). [10] Celiac disease seems to be on the rise, mainly in the elderly [11] Lack of association between celiac disease and dental enamel hypoplasia in a case-control study from an Italian central region [12]
Congenital lactase deficiency is a very rare, autosomal recessive genetic disorder that prevents lactase expression from birth. [footnote, "Heyman 2006"] It is particularly common in Finland. [footnote, "Behrendt 2009"] People with congenital lactase deficiency cannot digest lactose from birth, so cannot digest breast milk.
Sucrose intolerance or genetic sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (GSID) is the condition in which sucrase-isomaltase, an enzyme needed for proper metabolism of sucrose (sugar) and starch (e.g., grains), is not produced or the enzyme produced is either partially functional or non-functional in the small intestine. All GSID patients lack fully ...
