Abstract excerpt
Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia; OMIM 232200) is an autosomal recessive disorder of glycogen metabolism caused by a deficiency of the microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase). It is characterized by short stature, hepatomegaly, hypoglycaemia, hyperuricaemia, and lactic acidaemia. Various mutations have been reported in the G6Pase gene (G6PC). In order to determine the mutation spectrum in Tunisia, we...
