✦ Synopsis

100 cases of GSD were traced in the GFR. The overall incidence is 1:113000 in proportion to live births. Type I occurs most frequently with 30~o, followed by Type II and Type VI with 20~o each. Type III is extremely rare in the GF1%. 5 cases were classified as glycogenosis with the Fanconi syndrome. With the exception of Type III the type distribution in the GFR was similar to that found in 316 cases in a diagnostic center in Belgium.
