Glycogen storage disease 1a with piebaldism.
A 3 and half years old male child born by consanguineous marriage presented with white forelock and symmetric hypopigmented areas present since birth, similar to his mother and elder sister. Hepatomegaly was noticed at one year of age. Liver biopsy revealed enlarged pale hepatocytes distended with glycogen. Skin biopsy revealed absence of melanin pigment in white depigmented skin. G727T gene ...
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 کاملEvaluation of central nervous system in patients with glycogen storage disease type 1a.
We aimed to evaluate structure and functions of central nervous system (CNS) in children with glycogen storage disease (GSD) type 1a. Neurological examination, psychometric tests, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), visual evoked potentials (VEP) and brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) were performed. The results were compared between patients with good and p...
متن کاملGlycogen Storage Disease type 1a – a secondary cause for hyperlipidemia: report of five cases
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia) is a rare metabolic disorder, caused by deficient activity of glucose-6-phosphatase-α. It produces fasting induced hypoglycemia and hepatomegaly, usually manifested in the first semester of life. Besides, it is also associated with growth delay, anemia, platelet dysfunction, osteopenia and sometimes osteoporosis. Hyperlipidemia and h...
