Genetic and clinical characterization of familial renal glucosuria

Background: encoding sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2). In this study, we aimed to characterize proximal tubule solute transport, glucagon secretion and the genotype-phenotype relationship in FRG patients. Methods: , evaluated the proximal tubule transport of amino acid, uric acid and phosphate, and explored glucagon secretion after glucose ingestion in FRG patients. Results: of FRG patients had no significant correlation to phosphate reabsorption but a potential negative correlation to the fractional excretion of uric acid. Postprandial suppression of glucagon secretion was absent in most FRG patients. Conclusions: variant type and variant location on glucosuria severity. Our results highlighted the role of key residues in maintaining the transport function of SGLT2 and the functional link between glucosuria and reabsorption of amino acid and uric acid in FRG patients.
