Abstract

Loss-of-function of the glucose-6-phosphate transporter is caused by biallelic mutations in SLC37A4 and leads to glycogen storage disease Ib. Here we describe a second disease caused by a single dominant mutation in the same gene. The mutation abolishes the ER retention signal of the transporter and generates a weak Golgi retention signal. Intracellular mislocalization of the transporter leads to a congenital disorder of glycosylation instead of glycogen storage disease.
