Type I glycogen storage diseases (GSD-I) consist of two major autosomal recessive disorders, GSD-Ia, caused by a reduction of glucose-6-phosphatase-α (G6Pase-α or G6PC) activity and GSD-Ib, caused by a reduction in the glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT or SLC37A4) activity. This evidence concerns the gene SLC37A4 and Glycogen storage disease due to glycogenin deficiency.
