Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pathogenic mutations in the PHKG2 are associated with a very rare disease—glycogen storage disease IXc (GSD-IXc)—and are characterized by severe liver disease.
Case presentation
Here, we report a patient with jaundice, hypoglycaemia, growth retardation, progressive increase in liver transaminase and prominent hepatomegaly from the neonatal period. Genetic testing revealed two novel, previously unreported PHKG2 mutations (F233S and R320DfsX5). Functional experiments indicated that both F223S and R320DfsX5 lead to a decrease in key phosphorylase b kinase enzyme activity. With raw cornstarch therapy, hypoglycaemia and lactic acidosis were ameliorated and serum aminotransferases decreased.
Conclusion
These findings expand the gene spectrum and contribute to the interpretation of clinical presentations of these two novel PHKG2 mutations.
