Transaldolase deficiency leads to the accumulation of metabolites such as polyols and seven-carbon sugars, particularly in urine. Transaldolase deficiency is a rare disorder with multisystem involvement, including liver dysfunction, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, endocrine abnormalities and dysmorphic features. We now report on two siblings with kidney involvement due to transaldolase deficiency. Kidney dysfunction is common in transaldolase deficiency and may progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The disease may have an early onset, but it can also progress without showing any sign of kidney impairment until adulthood. Transaldolase deficiency should be considered among the causes of proteinuria and CKD of unknown origin, and these patients should be carefully monitored for kidney function. Although the disease has been generally reported to manifest with tubular dysfunction, one of our patients had both tubular and glomerular involvement, which started at an earlier age than in her younger sister.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/joneph\/aajag030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,3]],"date-time":"2026-02-03T12:41:42Z","timestamp":1770122502000},"page":"1058-1062","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A rare cause of kidney disease in two siblings: transaldolase deficiency"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2697-1206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lala","family":"Gurbanova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Nephrology, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine , Ankara ,","place":["T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bahar","family":"B\u00fcy\u00fckkarag\u00f6z","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Nephrology, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine , Ankara ,","place":["T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Buket","family":"Dalgic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine , Ankara ,","place":["T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026082812313159700_aajag030-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1086","DOI":"10.1086\/320108","article-title":"Transaldolase deficiency: liver cirrhosis associated with a new inborn error in the pentose phosphate pathway","volume":"68","author":"Verhoeven","year":"2001","journal-title":"Am J Hum Genet"},{"key":"2026082812313159700_aajag030-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3224","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfs061","article-title":"Nephrological abnormalities in patients with transaldolase deficiency","volume":"27","author":"Loeffen","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nephrol Dial Transplant"},{"key":"2026082812313159700_aajag030-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"746","DOI":"10.3390\/children8090746","article-title":"Successful liver transplantation in two Polish brothers with transaldolase deficiency","volume":"8","author":"Stefanowicz","year":"2021","journal-title":"Children (Basel)"},{"key":"2026082812313159700_aajag030-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.1002\/jimd.12036","article-title":"Clinical, biochemical, and molecular overview of transaldolase deficiency and evaluation of the endocrine function: update of 34 patients","volume":"42","author":"Williams","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Inherit Metab Dis"},{"key":"2026082812313159700_aajag030-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1007\/8904_2017_83","article-title":"Long-term systematic monitoring of four Polish transaldolase deficient patients","volume":"42","author":"Lipinski","year":"2018","journal-title":"JIMD Rep"},{"key":"2026082812313159700_aajag030-B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1111\/nep.14243","article-title":"Late diagnosis of a rare multisystemic genetic disorder: transaldolase deficiency due to homozygous TALDO1 c.345dupA variant","volume":"29","author":"Dirim","year":"2024","journal-title":"Nephrology (Carlton)"},{"key":"2026082812313159700_aajag030-B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"661","DOI":"10.1007\/s00431-014-2449-5","article-title":"Transaldolase deficiency caused by the homozygous p.R192C mutation of the TALDO1 gene in four Emirati patients with considerable phenotypic variability","volume":"174","author":"Al-Shamsi","year":"2015","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr"}],"container-title":["Journal of Nephrology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/joneph\/article-pdf\/39\/5\/1058\/68627487\/aajag030.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/joneph\/article-pdf\/39\/5\/1058\/68627487\/aajag030.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]],"date-time":"2026-08-28T16:31:36Z","timestamp":1787934696000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/joneph\/article\/39\/5\/1058\/8718961"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,6]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/joneph\/aajag030","relation":{},"ISSN":["1121-8428","1724-6059"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1121-8428","type":"print"},{"value":"1724-6059","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2026,6]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,6]]}}}
