Analysis of GBE1 mutations via protein expression studies in glycogen storage disease type IV: A report on a non-progressive form with a literature review

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2018
Background: Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV), caused by GBE1 mutations, has a quite wide phenotypic variation. While the classic hepatic form and the perinatal/neonatal neuromuscular forms result in early mortality, milder manifestations include

Polyglucosan body myopathy: a new case

, 1992
We report a 51-yr-old woman with late-onset progressive weakness affecting proximal limb muscles. Muscle biopsy revealed a vacuolar myopathy with accumulation of amylopectin-like polysaccharide resembling the polyglucosan found in type IV glycogenosis ...

The challenge of ultra‐rarity: Dual diagnosis of Lafora disease and developmental encephalopathies linked to TRIO and SHANK3 pathogenic variants

Epilepsia Open, Volume 10, Issue 6, Page 1990-1996, December 2025.
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,

Pubertal timing and growth influences cardiometabolic risk factors in adult males and females. [PDF]

, 2011
OBJECTIVE: Early pubertal onset in females is associated with increased risk for adult obesity and cardiovascular disease, but whether this relationship is independent of preceding childhood growth events is unclear.

The Expanding Clinical and Genetic Spectrum of Muscle Glycogen Storage Disease 0, (GSD0B)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 11, November 2025.
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 ...

Extensive white-matter changes in case of adult polyglucosan body disease.

, 2001
Extensive white matter signal changes were observed on T2-weighted images of a 49-year-old man. He presented with a slowly progressive gait disorder, and finally developed severe dementia.
