Glycogen storage disease type I: laboratory data and diagnosis.

A study of 20 cases of glycogen storage disease type I has shown differences from the classical picture. Hyperuricemia was observed in fewer than half of the cases. All patients had increased triglycerides in serum, but fewer than two thirds had increased concentrations of total cholesterol. There was a consistent increase of aminotransferases in serum. Many textbooks discuss hyperuricemia, lac...

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...
