GYS1 or PPP1R3C deficiency rescues murine adult polyglucosan body disease [PDF]
Objective Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is an adult‐onset neurological variant of glycogen storage disease type IV. APBD is caused by recessive mutations in the glycogen branching enzyme gene, and the consequent accumulation of poorly branched ...

Proteomic investigations of adult polyglucosan body disease: insights into the pathobiology of a neurodegenerative disorder [PDF]
Inadequate glycogen branching enzyme 1 (GBE1) activity results in different forms of glycogen storage disease type IV, including adult polyglucosan body disorder (APBD).

Characterization of cognitive impairment in adult polyglucosan body disease. [PDF]
AbstractAdult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is a rare but probably underdiagnosed autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder due to pathogenic variants in GBE1. The phenotype is characterized by neurogenic bladder dysfunction, spastic paraplegia, and axonal neuropathy.

Unifying the Communities of Early‐Onset Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV and Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease Through a Genetic Prevalence Study of GBE1‐Related Disease [PDF]
Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in GBE1, resulting in deficient glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) activity and formation of abnormal glycogen (“polyglucosan”).

A case of adult polyglucosan body disease. [PDF]
Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is a rare neurological disease, characterized by adult onset (fifth to seventh decades), progressive sensorimotor or pure motor peripheral neuropathy, upper motor neuron symptoms, neurogenic bladder, and cognitive impairment.

Case report: Expanding the understanding of the adult polyglucosan body disease continuum: novel presentations, diagnostic pitfalls, and clinical pearls [PDF]
Introduction: Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) has long been regarded as the adult-onset form of glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) and is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in GBE1.

Guaiacol as a drug candidate for treating adult polyglucosan body disease. [PDF]
Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is a late-onset disease caused by intracellular accumulation of polyglucosan bodies, formed due to glycogen-branching enzyme (GBE) deficiency. To find a treatment for APBD, we screened 1,700 FDA-approved compounds in fibroblasts derived from APBD-modeling GBE1

Clinical genetic analysis of an adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) family caused by the compound heterozygous variant of GBE1 p.R156C and deletion exon 3-7 [PDF]
IntroductionAdult Polyglucosan Body Disease (APBD) is a rare, autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder that affects both the central and peripheral nervous systems. It is primarily caused by mutations in the Glycogen Branching Enzyme 1 (GBE1) gene.

Neuro-Ophthalmic Manifestations of Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease. [PDF]
Background: Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is caused by a deficiency in glycogen branching enzyme that leads to polyglucosan accumulation in multiple organs. It has a progressive clinical course with prominent neurologic manifestations. We aim to describe the neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of APBD.
