Transaldolase deficiency is a newly recognized metabolic disorder. It is an autosomal recessive genetic disease (OMIM #606003). The effects of the defect in the TALDO gene are pleiotropic with a clinical presentation of growth retardation, dysmorphic features, cutis laxa, congenital heart disease, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, and bleeding tendencies. This is the first report of a child who was diagnosed at birth with transaldolase deficiency who subsequently developed hepatopulmonary syndrome.
