Abstract excerpt
We identified a novel mutation in the glycogen phosphorylase gene (PGYL) in a Chinese patient with glycogen storage disease (GSD) type VI. The patient presented with gross hepatomegaly since the age of two without history of any hypoglycemic attack. Otherwise, he was largely asymptomatic. Liver tissue enzyme assays revealed a mild deficiency of total glycogen phosphorylase. Both PGYL and PHKA2 genes were...
