Splice-modulating antisense oligonucleotides targeting a pathogenic intronic variant in adult polyglucosan body disease correct mis-splicing and restore enzyme activity in patient cells. [PDF]
Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is a rare, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder caused by loss-of-function variants in the glycogen branching enzyme (GBE1) gene, essential for glycogen biosynthesis.

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.

Novel GBE1 mutation in a Japanese family with adult polyglucosan body disease. [PDF]
Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is an autosomal recessive leukoencephalopathy caused by a deficiency of glycogen branching enzyme (GBE), leading to deposition of PBs in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Probable Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease [PDF]
Adult polyglucosan body disease is a clinicopathologic entity characterized by progressive upper and lower motor neuron dysfunction, sensory loss in the lower extremities, sphincter dysfunction, and occasionally dementia. Pathologically, numerous large polyglucosan bodies are noted in peripheral nerves, cerebral hemispheres, and the spinal cord, as ...

Glycogenin is Dispensable for Glycogen Synthesis in Human Muscle, and Glycogenin Deficiency Causes Polyglucosan Storage [PDF]
Glycogenin is considered to be an essential primer for glycogen biosynthesis. Nevertheless, patients with glycogenin-1 deficiency due to biallelic GYG1 (NM_004130.3) mutations can store glycogen in muscle.

Altered splicing of the BIN1 muscle-specific exon in humans and dogs with highly progressive centronuclear myopathy [PDF]
Amphiphysin 2, encoded by BIN1, is a key factor for membrane sensing and remodelling in different cell types. Homozygous BIN1 mutations in ubiquitously expressed exons are associated with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a mildly ...
