Therapeutic approaches in Glycogen Storage Disease type II (GSDII)/Pompe disease
Glycogen storage disease type II (GSDII)/Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive multi-system disorder due to a deficiency of the glycogen-degrading lysosomal enzyme, acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Without adequate levels of GAA, there is a progressive accumulation of glycogen inside the lysosome, resulting in lysosomal expansion in many tissues, although the major clinical manifestations are se...
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 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 کاملPompe's Glycogen Storage Disease
The clinical spectrum is continuous and broad and three major forms are recognised: infantile, juvenile and adult-onset. [1] In the infantile form, accumulation of glycogen in cardiac muscle leads to cardiac failure. Accumulation may also occur in the liver, which results in hepatomegaly and elevation of hepatic enzymes. Glycogen accumulation in muscle and peripheral nerves causes hypotonia and...
