glycogen storage disease 0

A metabolic disorder (OMIM:240600) characterised by fasting hypoglycaemia presenting in infancy or early childhood, high ketones, and low alanine and lactate concentrations. Feeding relieves symptoms, but may itself cause postprandial hyperglycaemia and hyperlactataemia.
Molecular pathology
Defects of GYS2, which encodes liver glycogen synthase, cause glycogen storage disease type 0.
