A patient with coexisting hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI)
and
1 antitrypsin deficiency (
1ATD) is
described. Protease inhibitor typing was not conclusive, presumably
because of impaired N-glycosylation secondary to HFI. The case
underlines the diagnostic role of molecular genetic techniques in
inborn errors of metabolism.
