Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is a genetic condition that prevents the metabolism of cane sugar (sucrose). This condition can result in, among other things, abdominal cramps and bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, and increased susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections. A) Suggest a possible molecular mechanism underlying this condition. B) Based on the mechanism described above, offer a hypothesis as to why this condition may be more severe in some individuals than others.
