Abstract
The diagnosis of glycogen storage disease (GSD) type IX is often complicated by the complexity of the phosphorylase kinase enzyme (PHK), and molecular analysis is the preferred way to provide definitive diagnosis. Here we reported two novel mutations found in two GSD type IX patients with different residual enzyme activities from Hong Kong, China using genetic analysis and, provided the molecular interpretation of the deficient PHK activity. These two newly described mutations would be useful for the study of future GSD patients.
