My professor has written G6PD deficiency, but neglected von Gierke's disease (G6P deficiency) in a list of causes of hyperuricemia. This leaves me with one of two conclusions: he missed von Gierke, or he made a mistake and wrote G6PD deficiency instead of G6P deficiency.
Uptodate on G6PD deficiency does not mention gout.
Varous USMLE forums present more questions than answers but I am having difficulty finding a reputable source.
Is G6PD deficiency a cause of gout? What is the mechanism involved?
