Hereditary fructose intolerance is a rare genetic disorder characterized by low blood sugar levels, stomach pain, and vomiting after eating fructose. This condition is caused by variants in the ALDOB gene, which disrupts the function of the aldolase B enzyme, leading to a harmful buildup of fructose byproducts in liver cells. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, low blood sugar, and stomach pain after consuming fructose, which can lead to failure to gain weight, liver damage, and kidney damage. Symptoms typically develop during infancy. The 23andMe Hereditary Fructose Intolerance Carrier Status report can tell you whether you may be a carrier for hereditary fructose intolerance.
