The autosomal recessive disorder Glycogen Storage Disease Type II (GSDII) is caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme acid -glucosidase. We have optimised a procedure to use fluorescent DNA sequencing technology to screen for mutations within the -glucosidase gene from UK patients with GSDII.
The autosomal recessive glycogen storage disease type I1 is associated with a deficiency of lysosomal a-glucosidase (acid maltase). This paper reports on the mutations in the lysosomal a-glucosidase alleles of an adult patient. A G-1927 to A transition was discovered in exon 14 causing the substitut
