132 patients with liver glycogen storage disease in Adana: type 3 was the most common
A study published in a journal and reviewed by independent scientists. Even so, a single study is not conclusive; it needs to be replicated.
Çukurova University reviewed the records of 132 patients with a confirmed genetic diagnosis. The most common type was type 3, at 42%. The rate of consanguineous marriage was 75%. Short stature was present in 46% at diagnosis, falling to 15% among those who had reached adulthood.
What does it mean for patients and families?
Type 3 is common in Türkiye. If there is a large abdomen, an enlarged liver or low blood sugar, it is helpful to visit a metabolic disease department.
