title: Immune deficiency in glycogen storage disease type 1B.
abstract: Patients with glycogen storage disease type 1B present the clinical features of glycogen storage disease type 1A. In addition, they are susceptible to recurrent bacterial infection and have recurrent oral ulcers and occasionally Crohn's-like disease. There features are due to immune dysfunction caused by a combination of neutropenia and impaired phagocytic functions.
