Exertional fatigue early in exercise is a clinical hallmark of muscle glycogenoses, which is often coupled with painful muscle contractures and episodes of myoglobinuria. A fundamental biochemical problem in these conditions is the impaired generation of ATP to fuel muscle contractions, which
BACKGROUND
McArdle disease (Glycogen Storage Disease type V) is caused by the absence of the glycolytic enzyme, muscle phosphorylase. People present with exercise-induced pain, cramps, fatigue, and myoglobinuria, which can result in acute renal failure if it is severe.
OBJECTIVE
To systematically
BACKGROUND
Glycogen storage diseases are rare genetic disorders of glycogen synthesis, degradation, or metabolism regulation. When these patients are subjected to anesthesia, perioperative complications can develop, including hypoglycemia, rhabdomyolysis, myoglobinuria, acute renal failure, and
OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical and pathological characteristics of one patient with glycogen storage disease IV (Anderson disease).
METHODS
The patient was received detailed clinical examinations, ultrasound, electromyography, head MRI and muscle biopsy.
RESULTS
The onset of the 22 years old male
Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD Ib, OMIM 232220) is an inborn disorder of glucose metabolism, caused by mutations in the G6PT gene, encoding a glucose 6-phosphate transporter (G6PT). GSD Ib is mainly associated with fasting hypoglycaemia and hepatomegaly. Most GSD Ib patients also show
Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) comprise a large, heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by abnormal glycogen deposition. Multiple cases in the literature have demonstrated an association between GSD type I and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We now also report on two patients with
Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is an autosomal recessive disorder due to the deficiency of α 1,4-glucan branching enzyme, resulting in an accumulation of amylopectin-like polysaccharide in various systems. We describe two cases, a 23-year-old girl with dilated cardiomyopathy who presented
A 31-year-old male patient with type Ia glycogen storage disease was admitted to our department complaining of general fatigue and right hypochondriac pain. He exhibited massive hepatomegaly with systemic hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, hyperuricemia, hyperpyruvatemia and hyperlipemia. The failure of
We report a 25-year-old man with glycogenosis III who presented with a progressive 2 year history of fatigue, hand stiffness and cramping. The glycogenoses are a group of rare metabolic disorders which develop as a result of deficiencies in various enzymes involved in the metabolism of glycogen.
BACKGROUND
McArdle's disease (Glycogen Storage Disease type V) is caused by the absence of the glycolytic enzyme, muscle phosphorylase. Patients present with exercise-induced pain, cramps, fatigue, myoglobinuria and acute renal failure, which can ensue if the myoglobinuria is severe.
OBJECTIVE
To
Glycogen storage disease type IX (GSD type IX) results from a deficiency of hepatic phosphorylase kinase activity. The phosphorylase kinase holoenzyme is made up of four copies of each of four subunits (alpha, beta, gamma and delta). The liver isoforms of the alpha-, beta- and gamma-subunits are
PHKA2 gene mutations can cause liver phosphorylase kinase (PhK) deficiency, resulting in glycogen storage disease type IXa (GSD IXa). Elevated liver transaminase levels and liver enlargement are the most frequent phenotypes of GSD IXa. However, whether the phenotypes are applicable to Glycogen storage disease type III (GSDIII) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the AGL gene coding for the glycogen debranching enzyme. Current therapy is based on dietary adaptations but new preclinical therapies are emerging. The identification of outcome measures which are
Myopathic symptoms in Glycogen Storage Disease Type IIIa (GSD IIIa) are generally ascribed to the muscle wasting that these patients suffer in adult life, but an inability to debranch glycogen likely also has an impact on muscle energy metabolism. We hypothesized that patients with GSD IIIa can
In glycogen storage disease type III (GSD III), deficiency of the debranching enzyme causes storage of an intermediate glycogen molecule (limit dextrin) in the affected tissues. In subtype IIIa hepatic tissue, skeletal- and cardiac muscle tissue is affected, while in subtype IIIb only hepatic tissue
