Abstract excerpt
Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD-Ia) is an autosomal recessive disorder of glycogen metabolism caused by glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) deficiency. It is characterized by short stature, hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia, hyperuricemia, and lactic acidemia. Various mutations have been reported in the G6Pase gene (G6PC). However, in Japanese patients, a g727t substitution was found to be the major cause of GSD-Ia,...
