It is also known as "Hers' disease", after H. G. Hers, who characterized it in 1959.^[1]

Presentation

Patients generally have a benign course, and typically present with hepatomegaly and growth retardation early in childhood. Mild hypoglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperketosis may occur. Lactic acid and uric acid levels are normal.
