Abstract excerpt
Genetic deficiencies of the hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase system, either of the enzyme (G6PC1) or of the glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT1), result in fasting hypoglycaemia. Low hepatic G6PC1 activities were previously reported in a few term sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) infants and assumed to be due to G6PC1 genetic deficiencies. In preterm infants, failures of postnatal activation of G6PC1 expression...
