Abstract

Aim: AGL gene mutations are responsible for glycogen storage disease type Ill which is an autosomal recessive disorder. The distribution of these mutations shows a great variance in different populations. The aim of this study is to uncover the AGL gene mutation profile among Turkish patients and to contribute to the establishment of a link between these mutations and the clinical picture of the disease.
