Unifying the Communities of Early-Onset Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV and Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease Through a Genetic Prevalence Study of <i>GBE1</i>-Related Disease. [PDF]
Genetic prevalence study of glycogen storage disease type IV. In collaboration with the Rare Genomes Project at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the APBD Research Foundation, this study queried and curated variants in GBE1 from ClinVar, HGMD, and gnomAD to calculate the genetic prevalence of glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV).

A United States-based patient-reported adult polyglucosan body disease registry: initial results [PDF]
Background: Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease (APBD) is an ultra-rare, genetic neurodegenerative disorder caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the glycogen branching enzyme gene.

Diagnosis of Inherited Metabolic Disease in Older Patients: A Systematic Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) are genetic disorders that disrupt biochemical processes in the human body, due to pathogenic variants in genes encoding enzymes or transporters. While IMDs are mostly diagnosed in infancy or childhood, there is an increasing number of diagnoses in adult patients.

Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxias: Translating Genes to Therapies. [PDF]
[Color figure can be viewed at www.annalsofneurology.org] Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are disabling neurodegenerative genetic conditions affecting balance and coordination. Advancements in genomic testing have improved diagnosis, leading to a new focus on the development of targeted precision therapeutics addressing cellular, biochemical ...

ILAE Genetics Literacy series: Progressive myoclonus epilepsies
Abstract Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy (PME) is a rare epilepsy syndrome characterized by the development of progressively worsening myoclonus, ataxia, and seizures. A molecular diagnosis can now be established in approximately 80% of individuals with PME.

Abstract Background Both type 1 (PSSM1) and type 2 polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM2) are characterised by aggregates of abnormal polysaccharide in skeletal muscle. Whereas the genetic basis for PSSM1 is known (R309H GYS1), the cause of PSSM2 in Quarter Horses (PSSM2‐QH) is unknown and glycogen concentrations not defined.

Abstract We report two cases of dual genetic diagnoses involving Lafora disease (LD) and co‐occurring neurodevelopmental disorders caused by pathogenic variants in TRIO and SHANK3, respectively. LD is an ultra‐rare, autosomal recessive, severe form of progressive myoclonus epilepsy affecting previously healthy children or adolescents. In both patients,

The Expanding Clinical and Genetic Spectrum of Muscle Glycogen Storage Disease 0, (GSD0B)
ABSTRACT Glycogen storage disorders are a group of genetic disorders affecting glucose homeostasis in the body. Muscular glycogen stores are essential for liberating glucose for energy supply during bursts of activity and sustained muscle work. Muscle glycogen storage disease 0 (GSD0B) is associated with biallelic variants in GYS1 causing muscular ...

Abstract The use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022.
