This study aims to describe the clinical history, laboratory profile, diagnostic workflow, and management of the first patient reported with CGGM in Mexico.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The case involves a Mexican female infant with recurrent admissions to the emergency room since birth due to chronic diarrhea.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The infant was born at term by C-section with a birth weight of 3.120\u2005kg and height of 48\u2005cm for consanguineous parents. She had been breastfed until day 5 of her life when she presented lethargy, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and jaundice. During the first evaluation at the emergency room, the significant laboratory finding was blood tyrosine elevation; afterward, amino acid and succinylacetone determinations were obtained, discarding tyrosinemia. When admitted to the hospital, an abdominal ultrasound detected a duplex collecting system. At this time, rice formula was introduced to the patient. She was discharged with jaundice improvement, but diarrhea persisted. Several formula changes had been made from rice to extensively hydrolyzed casein protein to whey-based, with no clinical improvement; the patient still had 10\u201312 excretions daily. In the second hospitalization, the patient presented anemia, severe dehydration, hyperammonemia, and renal tubular acidosis. A next-generation sequencing panel for inborn errors of metabolism and congenital diarrhea was performed, identifying a homozygous variant in <jats:italic>SLC5A1<\/jats:italic> (c.1667T\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009C). The diagnosis of CGGM was made at 3 months of age. The infant was initially treated with a modular galactose\u2013glucose-free formula with oil, fructose, casein, minerals, and vitamins until a commercial fructose-based formula was introduced. This led to a complete resolution of diarrhea and improved nutritional status.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Diagnosing CGGM is challenging for clinicians, and next-generation sequencing is a valuable tool for providing appropriate treatment. More detailed information on patients with this condition might lead to possible phenotype\u2013genotype correlations. This case's primary clinical and biochemical findings were chronic diarrhea, anemia, jaundice, renal tubular acidosis, hyperammonemia, and initial hypertyrosinemia. Symptoms were resolved entirely with the fructose-based formula.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2024.1284671","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,19]],"date-time":"2024-02-19T04:55:59Z","timestamp":1708318559000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Importance
