Chances of Liver Transplantation in a Patient With Transaldolase Deficiency Complicated by Hepatopulmonary Syndrome.

Eyaid's syndrome or Transaldolase Deficiency (TD) (OMIM 606003) is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism. In this report, we describe the case of an eight-year-old Saudi girl with a history of hepatosplenomegaly since infancy, who presented to the emergency department for a short history of cough and worsening cyanosis. She had growth retardation, facial dysmorphia, cardiac defect, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia, besides hepatosplenomegaly. A thorough investigation led to the diagnosis of hepatopulmonary syndrome and whole exome sequencing showed a homozygous frameshift variant in the TALDO1gene, c.793del, p.Gln265fs. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with TD complicated with hepatopulmonary syndrome, and the indication of liver transplantation was discussed.
