Glycogen storage disease (type-III).
Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type III is caused by deficiency of the enzyme amylo-1,6 glucosidase (debranching enzyme) leading to the storage of an abnormal glycogen with short outer chains called limit dextrins(l). Clinical manifestations are usually due to decreased hepatic glycogenolysis and occasionally due to a myopathy associated with an increase in muscle glycogen. We report a case of ...
متن کاملType V glycogen storage disease.
We describe three children with type V glycogen storage disease, who were reluctant to climb hills. We suggest that this condition, usually described as being of adult onset, can often be diagnosed in childhood.
متن کاملGlycogen storage disease type IV, amylopectinosis.
Classification of the glycogen storage diseases according to the underlying enzyme defect has added considerably to our understanding of this group of diseases. Of the 6 types in which the biochemical abnormality has been characterized, the least common appears to be type IV, amylopectin-osis. The first case was described by Andersen in 1952, and the glycogen present in the liver and other orga...
متن کاملAlglucosidase alfa treatment alleviates liver disease in a mouse model of glycogen storage disease type IV
Patients with progressive hepatic form of GSD IV often die of liver failure in early childhood. We tested the feasibility of using recombinant human acid-α glucosidase (rhGAA) for treating GSD IV. Weekly intravenously injection of rhGAA at 40 mg/kg for 4 weeks significantly reduced hepatic glycogen accumulation, lowered liver/body weight ratio, and reduced plasma ALP and ALT activities in GSD I...
