Summary: Lafora disease (LD) and adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) are glycogen storage diseases characterized by a pathogenic buildup of insoluble glycogen. Mechanisms causing glycogen insolubility are poorly understood.

Maternal heat abatement during gestation alters growth, immunity, thermotolerance, and hepatic gene expression in beef offspring during backgrounding [PDF]
IntroductionThe objective of this study was to evaluate the fetal programming effects of removing maternal heat abatement during late gestation on offspring growth, thermotolerance, physiological responses, and liver gene expression during the ...

Colocalization and functional analyses identify <i>GBE1</i> as a gene linking muscle strength and cardiometabolic fitness. [PDF]
Colocalization of genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci with quantitative trait loci (QTL) in skeletal muscle tissue identified GBE1 as a candidate for handgrip strength. Cellular phenotypes with GBE1 knockdown in immortalized human skeletal muscle cells include decreased glycogen content, accumulation of polyglucosan bodies, changes in ...

Transcriptional response to hypoxic stress in melanoma and prognostic potential of GBE1 and BNIP3 [PDF]
Gradients of hypoxia occur in most solid tumors and cells found in hypoxic regions are associated with the most aggressive and therapy-resistant fractions of the tumor. Despite the ubiquity and importance of hypoxia responses, little is known about the variation in the global transcriptional response to hypoxia in melanoma. Using microarray technology,

A family study implicates GBE1 in the etiology of autism spectrum disorder
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders with an estimated heritability of >60%. Family-based genetic studies of ASD have generally focused on multiple small kindreds, searching for de novo variants of major effect.

Deep IntronicGBE1Mutation in Manifesting Heterozygous Patients With Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease [PDF]
We describe a deep intronic mutation in adult polyglucosan body disease. Similar mechanisms can also explain manifesting heterozygous cases in other inborn metabolic diseases.To explain the genetic change consistently associated with manifesting heterozygous patients with adult polyglucosan body disease.This retrospective study took place from November
