Sick cell syndrome is a medical condition characterised by reduced functioning of the cellular Na+/K+ pump, [1] which is responsible for maintaining the internal ion homeostasis. The clinical result is a rise in blood K+ level and drop of blood Na+ levels

The inability to break down glycogen within the lysosomes of cells leads to progressive muscle weakness throughout the body and affects various body tissues, particularly in the heart, skeletal muscles, liver and the nervous system. GSD-II and Danon disease are the only glycogen storage diseases characterised by a defect in lysosomal metabolism.
Apoptosis is the programmed cell death of superfluous or potentially harmful cells in the body.
