Abstract excerpt
Glycogen storage disease type IX (GSD type IX) results from a deficiency of hepatic phosphorylase kinase activity. The phosphorylase kinase holoenzyme is made up of four copies of each of four subunits (alpha, beta, gamma and delta). The liver isoforms of the alpha-, beta- and gamma-subunits are encoded by PHKA2, PHKB and PHKG2, respectively. Mutation within these genes has been shown to result in GSD type IX....
