Abstract
We describe 2 patients with glycogen storage disease type 1a and severe hyperlipidemia without premature atherosclerosis. Susceptibility of low-density lipoproteins to oxidation was decreased, possibly related to the ~40-fold increase in palmitate synthesis altering lipoprotein saturated fatty acid contents. These findings are potentially relevant for antihyperlipidemic treatment in patients with glycogen storage disease type 1a.Entities:
