Gastric cancer following a liver transplantation for glycogen storage disease type Ia (von Gierke disease): A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD-Ia; also termed von Gierke disease) is an inherited metabolic disorder resulting from a glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency. Liver transplantation is considered to be the most effective treatment for GSD-Ia patients. In the present study, the case of a patient with GSD-Ia who received a liver transplantation at 17 years of age is presented. During the 12 years following transplantation, the patient's quality of life markedly improved. However, recently, the patient was diagnosed with de novo gastric cancer following a biopsy. Thus, a total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection was performed and the tumor was histologically determined to be a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (histopathological stage, pT4N1M0). The patient recovered well and was discharged on postoperative day 10 without any complications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of de novo gastric cancer in a patient with GSD-Ia to be reported.

Pompe disease or type II glycogen storage disease is a rare autosomal hereditary disease. The prevalence of the disease is about 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 300,000 population. It usually occurs as a result of glycogen accretion following acid maltase deficiency. The current treatment is enzyme replacement therapy, which may slow down the disease progression. Sometimes, the clinical presentation can be...
متن کاملHepatic mitochondrial dysfunction is a feature of Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia (GSDIa)
Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa, von Gierke disease) is the most common glycogen storage disorder. It is caused by the deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase, an enzyme which catalyses the final step of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Clinically, GSDIa is characterized by fasting hypoglycaemia and hepatic glycogen and triglyceride overaccumulation. The latter leads to steatohepatitis, ...

GLYCOGEN storage diseases (GSD) are inherited disorders in which the amount and/or structure of glycogen in body tissues are abnormal. GSD I (von Gierke disease) is caused by a deficiency of glucose 6-phosphatase activity in the liver, kidney, and intestinal mucosa with glycogen overloading in these organs. The clinical manifestations are seizures, systemic acidosis, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricem...

Glycogen disease (GSD) type la, known stora,ge as von Gierke s disease, is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism in which there is an inability to cleave glycogen to glucose due to glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) deficiency. 1, 2 The diagnosis currently is established by demonstrating the lack of G6Pase activity in the patient’s biopsied liver specimen. Recently, however, a DNA-b...

Molecular diagnosis of Von Gierke disease is possible by mutation analysis of G6PC gene. GSD type 1a cases account for 20 % of glycogenoses in our center. We diagnosed ten unrelated patients with glycogen storage disease based on clinical, biochemical and histopathology investigations. Mutation analysis was done by sequencing the G6PC gene. Two unrelated patients were found to be homozygous for...
