Quick Summary:

Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (HFI) is a genetic developmental disorder that prevents an individual from being able to digest fructose (a type of sugar commonly found in fruits, honey)
The condition is onset at infancy and any intake of fructose leads to abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and low blood sugar. Continuous or repeated intake can cause serious damage to the kidneys and liver, leading to potentially fatal results
Defective mutations of gene present on chromosome 9 are responsible for the disorder. HFI is autosomal recessive, implying that the gene defect has to be inherited from both parents to cause the condition
Avoidance of fructose in the diet and addressing any liver damage, is the standard treatment mode that is followed
