Gout is a disease characterized by the deposition of sodium urate crystals in joint fluid and tissues. It is more common in middle-aged men and less common in teenagers. Patients with early onset of disease should be alert to secondary gout, among which glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are one of the rare causes of gout. GSD is a hereditary disease with abnormal carbohydrate metabolism. Type Ia is the most common. It is mainly caused by mutations in the glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit (G6PC) gene. Abnormal activity often occurs in infancy. The main symptoms include hepatomegaly, fasting hypoglycemia, short stature, baby face, repeated epistaxis, hyperlactatemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, etc. Gout often becomes GSD. One of the main late-stage manifestations of type I patients is that a small number of patients develop complications such as hepatic adenoma, malignant transformation of hepatic adenoma, and renal damage.
