α-Glucosidase deficiency in generalized glycogen-storage disease (Pompe's disease)

Pompe'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...

[Glycogen storage disease].

The glycogen storage diseases (GSD) or glycogenoses are a heterogenous group of inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism that lead to abnormal concentrations or structure of glycogen. Several well defined disorders of glycogen metabolism, have been described based on the identified enzymatic defects or sometimes the distinctive features(l). We wish to report our experience with one such case of...

[Lysosomal glycogen storage disease without acid maltase deficiency].

Lysosomal glycogen storage disease without acid maltase deficiency is characterized by the triad of clinical manifestations (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), mental retardation, and mild myopathy), morphologic findings (glycogen storage, glycogenosomes, and autophagic vacuoles), and normal glycolytic enzyme activities. Though most of the patients suffering from the triad were males, family studies...
