Abstract excerpt
Phosphorylase kinase (PHK) is a key enzyme in the control of glycogen breakdown. Several types of PHK deficiency have been described of which X-linked liver glycogenosis type I (XLG I) is the most common. Since the XLG I locus and the gene encoding the liver alpha-subunit gene of PHK (PHKA2) have both been localized to Xp22, PHKA2 was a candidate gene for XLG I. In this study we identified four point mutations in...
