Familial renal glucosuria – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/381783069

Renal glucosuria (RG) is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterised by renal glucose wasting in the absence of hyperglycaemia or other forms of tubular dysfunction. The prevalence is unknown. It is caused by mutations in the SLC5A2 gene encoding the sodium/glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2). RG is a benign condition with no symptoms or serious consequences, and does not require a specific therapy.
