Abstract
Glycogen storage disease (GSD) 1b is the deficiency of endoplasmic reticulum glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) transport. We here report the structure of the gene encoding a protein likely to be responsible for G6P transport, and its mapping to human chromosome 11q23.3. The gene is composed of nine exons spanning a genomic region of approximately 4 kb. Primers based on the genomic sequence were used in single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and mutations were found in six out of seven GSD 1b patients analysed.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
