Glycogen 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 کاملGlycogen 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 کاملHepatocellular carcinoma in glycogen storage disease type IV.
A 13 year old patient with juvenile type IV glycogen storage disease died of the complications of hepatocellular carcinoma. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of hepatocellular carcinoma in association with type IV glycogen storage disease.
متن کاملLiver transplantation for type IV glycogen storage disease.
T YPE IV glycogen storage disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder (also called Andersen's diseasel or amylopectinosis) in which the activity of branching enzyme alpha-I, 4-g1ucan: alpha-I, 4-g1ucan 6-g1ucosyltransferase is deficient in the liver as well as in cultured skin fibroblasts and other tissues.2,3 This branching enzyme is responsible for creating branch points in the normal glyc...
