A glycogen storage disease (GSD, also glycogenosis and dextrinosis) is a metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of an enzyme or transport protein affecting glycogen synthesis, glycogen breakdown, or glucose breakdown, typically in muscles and/or liver cells.
Glycogen storage disease type II has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Pompe disease has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. This means the defective gene is located on an autosome , and two faulty copies of the gene—one from each parent—are required to be born with the disorder.
Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I) is an inherited disease that prevents the liver from properly breaking down stored glycogen, which is necessary to maintain adequate blood sugar levels. GSD I is divided into two main types, GSD Ia and GSD Ib, which differ in cause, presentation, and treatment.
Classic Andersen's disease typically becomes apparent during the first few months after the patient is born. Approximately 1 in 20,000 to 25,000 newborns have a glycogen storage disease. [4] Andersen's disease affects 1 in 800,000 individuals worldwide, with 3% of all GSDs being type IV. [5]
Glycogen storage disease type III; Other names: Cori Disease, Debrancher Deficiency, Forbes Disease [1] Micrograph of glycogen storage disease with histologic features consistent with Cori disease. Liver biopsy. H&E stain. Specialty: Endocrinology Symptoms: Hypotonia [2] Causes: AGL gene mutation [3] Diagnostic method: Biopsy, Elevated ...
Glycogen storage disease type V (GSD5, GSD-V), [1] also known as McArdle's disease, [2] is a metabolic disorder, one of the metabolic myopathies, more specifically a muscle glycogen storage disease, caused by a deficiency of myophosphorylase. [3] [4] Its incidence is reported as one in 100,000, roughly the same as glycogen storage disease type ...
Danon disease (or glycogen storage disease Type IIb) is a metabolic disorder. [1] Danon disease is an X-linked lysosomal and glycogen storage disorder associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy , skeletal muscle weakness, and intellectual disability. [ 2 ]
Glycogen storage disease type 0 is a disease characterized by a deficiency in the glycogen synthase enzyme (GSY). Although glycogen synthase deficiency does not result in storage of extra glycogen in the liver, it is often classified as a glycogen storage disease because it is another defect of glycogen storage and can cause similar problems.
