 Von Gierke disease is also known as Type I Glycogen Storage Disease (GSD I)<ref>https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000338.htm [cited 05/11/18]</ref>. It is caused by a glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency, and so leads to the body being unable to break down [[Glycogen|glycogen]] into [[Glucose|glucose]] during [[Glycogenolysis|glycogenolysis]] in the liver<ref>BGM1002 Lecture 28</ref>. This leads to [[Hypoglycaemia|hypoglycaemia]] and [[Hepatomegaly|hepatomegaly]]. Von Gierke disease is inherited.
