Glycogen storage disease type 1 is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Osteoporosis is one of the long term complications. However factors associated with low bone mass has not fully understood. Metabolic derangements that occur with poor control may contribute to bone disease. Low bone mass could be caused by hypogonadtropic hypogonadism, a unique issue identified in GSD. Herein we report a patient with GSD type 1, osteoporosis and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. A 20 years o...
