Treatment of many inherited disorders of hepatic metabolism is still challenging. Hepatocyte transplantation was done in a 47-year-old woman who had glycogen storage disease type 1a and severe fasting hypoglycaemia. 2 billion viable hepatocytes were infused via an indwelling portal-vein catheter, followed by a triple immunosuppression regimen with mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, and steroids. 9 months after transplantation, on only tacrolimus, she eats a normal diet and can fast for 7 h without experiencing hypoglycaemia. Our results show that hepatocyte transplantation might be an alternative to liver transplantation in glycogen storage disease type 1a.

Abstract

Treatment of many inherited disorders of hepatic metabolism is still challenging. Hepatocyte transplantation was done in a 47-year-old woman who had glycogen storage disease type 1a and severe fasting hypoglycaemia. 2 billion viable hepatocytes were infused via an indwelling portal-vein catheter, followed by a triple immunosuppression regimen with mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, and steroids. 9 months after transplantation, on only tacrolimus, she eats a normal diet and can fast for 7 h without experiencing hypoglycaemia. Our results show that hepatocyte transplantation might be an alternative to liver transplantation in glycogen storage disease type 1a.
