Case report: Familial glycogen storage disease type IV caused by novel compound heterozygous mutations in a glycogen branching enzyme 1 gene [PDF]
Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV), caused by a mutation in the glycogen branching enzyme 1 (GBE1) gene, is a rare metabolic disorder with an autosomal recessive inheritance that involves the liver, neuromuscular, and cardiac systems.

Expression and characterization of thermostable glycogen branching enzyme from Geobacillus mahadia Geo-05 [PDF]
The glycogen branching enzyme (EC 2.4.1.18), which catalyses the formation of α-1,6-glycosidic branch points in glycogen structure, is often used to enhance the nutritional value and quality of food and beverages. In order to be applicable in industries,

Structural basis of glycogen branching enzyme deficiency and pharmacologic rescue by rational peptide design. [PDF]
Glycogen branching enzyme 1 (GBE1) plays an essential role in glycogen biosynthesis by generating α-1,6-glucosidic branches from α-1,4-linked glucose chains, to increase solubility of the glycogen polymer.

Polyglucosan neurotoxicity caused by glycogen branching enzyme deficiency can be reversed by inhibition of glycogen synthase [PDF]
AbstractUncontrolled elongation of glycogen chains, not adequately balanced by their branching, leads to the formation of an insoluble, presumably neurotoxic, form of glycogen called polyglucosan. To test the suspected pathogenicity of polyglucosans in neurological glycogenoses, we have modeled the typical glycogenosis Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease ...

Prevalence of the Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency Mutation in Quarter Horses in Brazil [PDF]
Abstract Glycogen branching enzyme deficiency (GBED) is a fatal autosomal inherited disease affecting horses and caused by a nonsense mutation (c.102C>A) in the GBE1 gene. This disease strongly impairs the glycogen metabolism of affected animals resulting in abortion or early death of foals.

Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency in Quarter Horse Foals [PDF]
Seven related Quarter Horse foals that died by 7 weeks of age were examined for glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) deficiency. Clinical signs varied from stillbirth, transient flexural limb deformities, seizures, and respiratory or cardiac failure to persistent recumbency.
