The transport of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), glucose, and orthophosphate into liver microsomes, isolated from six patients with various subtypes of type 1 glycogen storage disease (GSD), was measured using a light-scattering method. We found that G6P, glucose, and phosphate could all cross the microsomal membrane, in four cases of type 1a GSD. In contrast, liver microsomal transport of G6P and phosphate was deficient in the GSD 1b and 1c patients, respectively. These results support the involvement of multiple proteins (and genes) in GSD type 1. The results obtained with the light-scattering method are in accordance with conventional kinetic analysis of the microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase system. Therefore, this technique could be used to directly diagnose type 1b and 1c GSD.

1. Type 1b and type 1c glycogen-storage disease are caused respectively by deficiencies of the glucose-6-phosphate translocase and the phosphate/pyrophosphate translocase of the human hepatic microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase system. 2. Current methods of unequivocally diagnosing type 1b and type 1c glycogen storage disease are indirect and complex. 3. We have therefore developed a simple, rapid and direct microfiltration assay for the glucose-6-phosphate translocase and the phosphate/pyrophosphate translocase. 4. We have demonstrated that the microfiltration assay can be used to directly diagnose type 1b and type 1c glycogen-storage disease in microsomes isolated from hepatic needle-biopsy samples.
