Glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD-1a) is caused by a deficiency in glucose-6-phosphatase-α (G6Pase-α), and is characterized by impaired glucose homeostasis and a high risk of developing hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs). A globally G6Pase-α-deficient (G6pc−/−) mouse model that shows pathological fe...
