We devised a simple method using a TaqMan fluorogenic probe for detection of a prevalent G6PT1 mutation W118R among Japanese patients with glycogen storage disease type Ib. The W118R mutation was detected in three of six newly diagnosed Japanese patients. The W118R-negative alleles were screened for causative mutations by sequencing analysis, revealing five novel mutations. The genetic tests using the simple TaqMan method coupled with sequencing analysis would facilitate the early diagnosis of this disorder.

Background: Monoclonal gammopathy (MG) has been reported in association with numerous neurological disorders but the spectrum of MG-associated myopathies remains poorly described.
Objective: To report a newly acquired myopathy associated with MG.
Methods: Three adult patients with the same phenotype from two French referral centers were prospectively analyzed.

Introduction: Chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and increased apoptosis are involved in the pathogenesis of glycogen storage disease Ib (GSD Ib), whereas small molecule phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) showed the capability of reducing ER stress-induced apoptosis. The objective was to generate an in vitro system in which capability of small molecules (SMs) to influence ER stress and apoptosis could be screened at the expression level.
Methods: G6PT-deficient FlpInHEK293 cell line was created and validated using the CRISPR/Cas9 knockout method.

Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a functional disruption in several critical mitochondrial enzyme complexes, including pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Despite DLD's pivotal role in cellular energy metabolism, detailed molecular and metabolic consequences of DLD deficiency (DLDD) remain poorly understood. This study represents the first in-depth multi-omics analysis, specifically metabolomic and transcriptomic, of fibroblasts derived from a DLD-deficient patient compound heterozygous for a common Ashkenazi Jewish variant (c.

Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa) is a rare inherited disorder resulting in potentially life-threatening hypoglycemia, metabolic abnormalities, and complications often requiring hospitalization. This retrospective database analysis assessed the complications, resource utilization, and costs in a large cohort of patients with GSDIa. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of GSDIa patients and matched non-GSDIa comparators utilizing the PharMetrics® Plus database.
