Some of the recently introduced strategies in the management of Fanconi syndrome are provided below; of note, due to various underlying mechanisms leading to the disease, researches are on in this field[1].

  • In a rare variant of Fanconi syndrome named Fanconi reno-tubular syndrome 1 (FRTS1), the patients have fatty acid oxidation problem due to a mitochondrial defect; dequalinium chloride (DECA) which s a newly introduced drug for hyperoxaluria[2] has appeared to be effective in treatment of this syndrome by not permitting the import of unfunctional mutated protein[1].
  • In other types of mitochondrial defects leading to Fanconi syndrome, it is of recently proposed that enhancement of this protein import by the drug sodium pyrithione can alleviate the disease[3].
  • Consumption of different anti-oxidants has shown promising results in the treatment of Fanconi syndrome with fatty acid oxidation defects[4].
  • It has been shown that Anti-apoptotic drugs are also very effective in Fanconi syndrome variants with cell apoptosis as a leading mechanism like tyrosinemia and cystinosis and [1][5].
  • Stimulation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), an important regulator protein in cell autophagy and lipid metabolism[6], by specific aminoacids or kinases[7] is also recently proposed as a potential therapeutic approach for Fanconi syndrome[1].
  • RNA silencing therapies are just recently introduced treatments targeting the down-regulation of disease genes with dominant inheritance[8] and for instance the regulator microRNA mir21 is proposed to be investigated as a therapeutic target for some variants of Fanconi syndrome[1].
