Abstract
The fatal neonatal form of type IV glycogen storage disease (GSD IV) was diagnosed on light and electron microscopy and by analysis of GBE1 , the gene encoding glycogen branching enzyme. We report two novel truncating mutations, as well as the first genomic mutational analysis of GBE1 using denaturing high performance liquid chromatography.
