Abstract
Imerslund- Grasbeck syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to selective malabsorption of
Vitamin B12 at the level of cobalamin-intrinsic factor receptor mutation in the terminal ileum resulting in
megaloblastic anaemia with proteinuria. Early detection of this rare disorder would enable screening and
genetic counselling for asymptomatic family members.
