Glycogen storage disease type 0a (GSD-0a), also known as liver glycogen synthase deficiency, is an autosomal recessive disorder of glycogen metabolism. GSD-0a is caused by mutations in the GYS2 gene, which encodes liver glycogen synthase. In GSD-0a, the main clinical finding is intolerance to fasting accompanied by hypoglycemia.
