Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence and Prevalence

  • Fanconi syndrome is a rare condition with potential various etiologies, many of which are still being studied and has not gone further of case reports, the approximation of the disease incidence/prevalence is not available at the present time due to the rare incidence/prevalence of these underlying diseases.

Age

  • Inherited forms of the Fanconi syndrome, mostly found in the context of genetic disorders with many other clinical presentations are generally first diagnosed in early infancy (Lowe syndrome, Cystinosis, Tyrosinemia, Hereditary Fructose Intolerance) or childhood (Glycogen-storage diseases, Wilson disease, Galactosemia). Except for rare instances like A3243G mutation of the mitochondrial tRNA gene which is a genetic and adult onset form of disease[1][2].
  • Fanconi syndrome due to Acquired and Exogenous causes can be seen in any age group depending on the underlying cause and exposure to toxic substances.

Race

  • No race preference is indicated for Fanconi syndrome overall. An exception is when cystinosis is the etiology and is almost exclusively seen in Caucasians although there are case reports of Black race affected infants[3].

Gender

  • Among Genetic causes of fanconi syndrome, "Lowe syndrome", and "Dent I & II" diseases have X-linked inheritance so the clinical signs and symptoms are mostly seen in boys. Other etiologies engage both genders equally<ref>Richard Alan Lewis, Robert L. Nussbaum & Eileen D. Brewer (1993). "Lowe Syndrome". PMID 20301653.</ref.
