GSD I is divided into two main types, GSD Ia and GSD Ib, which differ in cause, presentation, and treatment. There are also possibly rarer subtypes, the ...
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 ...
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 ]
While some dogs might be considered adults around a year old, large breeds can take longer to mature. According to the AKC, German Shepherds reach full maturity somewhere between 2 to 3 years ...
