Glycogen storage disease 1a with piebaldism.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 splice mutation was diagnosed in exon 5 of 17q21 chromosome.

Increased lipogenesis and resistance of lipoproteins to oxidative modification in two patients with glycogen storage disease type 1a.
We describe 2 patients with glycogen storage disease type 1a and severe hyperlipidemia without premature atherosclerosis. Susceptibility of low-density lipoproteins to oxidation was decreased, possibly related to the ~40-fold increase in palmitate synthesis altering lipoprotein saturated fatty acid contents. These findings are potentially relevant for antihyperlipidemic treatment in patients wi...
متن کاملA first description of chronic arthritis and uveitis in an adolescent girl with glycogen storage disease
Purpose Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type 1a is an autosomal recessive inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism which affects glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Severe fasting hypoglycemia and secondary biochemical abnormalities such as hyperuricemia occur. Molecular analysis differentiates GSD type 1 into different clinical phenotypes, of which Type 1b but not Type 1a, is associated with inf...
متن کاملGlycogen storage disease: report of 17 cases from southern India.
BACKGROUND There are only four reports of glycogen storage disease (GSD), totalling six cases, from India. OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical phenotypes of children diagnosed with GSD in southern India. METHODS Liver biopsy reports from 1994 to 2005 were reviewed and GSD was confirmed in 17 patients. All 17 patients were tested for the three commonest GSD 1a mutations by restriction fragme...
متن کاملMutation analysis in 24 French patients with glycogen storage disease type 1a.
Both alleles of 24 French glycogen storage disease type 1a patients were sequenced: 14 different mutations allowed the identification of complete genotypes for all the patients. Nine new gene alterations are reported. Five mutations, Q347X, R83C, D38V, G188R, and 158 del C, account for 75% of the mutated alleles. These data show that the molecular pathology of the glucose-6-phosphatase gene is ...
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...
