AB Inborn  error  of  metabolism  of  glucose  caused  by  decreased  glycogen  synthetase  activity  and  characterized  by  fasting  hypoglycemia,  high  blood  ketones,  increased  free  fatty  acids,  and  low  levels  of  alanine  and  lactate  beginning  in  early  infancy.  Conversely,  feeding  results  in  hyperglycemia  and  hyperlactatemia.  Unlike  other  GSDs,  GSD  0  does  not  result  in  tissue  accumulation  of  normal  or  abnormal  glycogen.  Although  glycogen  synthase  deficiency  does  not  result  in  storage  of  extra  glycogen  in  the  liver,  it  is  often  classified  as  a  glycogen  storage  disease  because  it  is  another  defect  of  glycogen  storage  and  can  cause  similar  problems.
