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 ...
PMM2 deficiency or PMM2-CDG, previously CDG-Ia, is a very rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in PMM2. It is an autosomal recessive disease that is the most common type of congenital disorder of glycosylation or CDG. [2] PMM2-CDG is the most common of a growing family of more than 130 extremely rare inherited metabolic disorders. [3]
Another characteristic of GLUT1 deficiency is that symptoms are sensitive to food (e.g. symptoms that can be temporarily improved by intake of carbohydrates), and symptoms may be worse in the morning upon and just after waking. [5] All symptoms may be aggravated or triggered by factors such as hunger, fatigue, heat, anxiety, and sickness.
Mannose supplementation relieves the symptoms in MPI-CDG for the most part, [39] even though the hepatic fibrosis may persist. [40] Fucose supplementation has had a partial effect on some SLC35C1-CDG patients. [41] In 2024, it was reported that a study suggested that Ibuprofen might be helpful as a treatment for one such genetic disease. [42]
The signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia are present (see section below on Signs and Symptoms) [2] [10] A low blood glucose measurement is present, typically less than 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) [2] The signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia resolve after blood glucose levels have returned to normal [2]
Glycogen storage diseases that involve skeletal muscle typically have exercise-induced symptoms, such as premature muscle fatigue, rather than fixed weakness symptoms. [46] Differential diagnoses for glycogen storage diseases that involve fixed muscle weakness, particularly of the proximal muscles, would be an inflammatory myopathy or a limb ...
Citrin deficiency (CD) is an inherited autosomal recessive metabolic condition and a urea cycle disorder. Citrin deficiency is a complex disorder with several age-dependent phenotypes. A hallmark symptom of citrin deficiency is a strong dietary preference for foods rich in protein and fat, while being low in carbohydrates.
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 ...
