The potential of dietary treatment in patients with glycogen storage disease type
AbstractThere is paucity of literature on dietary treatment in glycogen storage disease (GSD) type IV and formal guidelines are not available. Traditionally, liver transplantation was considered the only treatment option for GSD IV. In light of the success of dietary treatment for the other hepatic forms of GSD, we have initiated this observational ...

A Modified Enzymatic Method for Measurement of Glycogen Content in Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV [PDF]
Deficiency of glycogen branching enzyme in glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) results in accumulation of less-branched and poorly soluble polysaccharides (polyglucosan bodies) in multiple tissues. Standard enzymatic method, when used to quantify glycogen content in GSD IV tissues, causes significant loss of the polysaccharides during preparation

Natural history study of hepatic glycogen storage disease type IV and comparison to Gbe1ys/ys model [PDF]
Background Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is an ultrarare autosomal recessive disorder that causes deficiency of functional glycogen branching enzyme and formation of abnormally structured glycogen termed polyglucosan. GSD IV has traditionally

A Rare Cause of Elevated Chitotriosidase Activity: Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV [PDF]
Human chitinolytic enzyme named "chitotriosidase" takes part in the defense mechanism against pathogens and the homeostasis of innate immunity. Chitotriosidase was firstly reported to be markedly high in plasma of patients with Gaucher disease.

Placental Involvement in Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV
Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) deficiency and resulting in the storage of abnormal glycogen (polyglucosan). Prenatal diagnosis is based on biochemical assay of GBE activity or on mutation analysis, but polyglucosan can also be identified histologically in fetal ...

Two cases of a non-progressive hepatic form of glycogen storage disease type IV with atypical liver pathology [PDF]
Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is a rare inborn metabolic disorder characterized by the accumulation of amylopectin-like glycogen in the liver or other organs.

Prenatal diagnosis of glycogen storage disease type IV
AbstractBackgroundGlycogen storage disease type IV (GSD‐IV) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to mutations in the GBE1 gene causing deficiency of the glycogen branching enzyme (GBE). Prenatal diagnosis has occasionally been performed by the measurement of the GBE activity in cultured chorionic villi (CV) cells.MethodsTwo unrelated probands ...

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 [PDF]
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

Chimerism after Liver Transplantation for Type IV Glycogen Storage Disease and Type 1 Gaucher's Disease [PDF]
Liver transplantation for type IV glycogen storage disease (branching-enzyme deficiency) results in the resorption of extrahepatic deposits of amylopectin, but the mechanism of resorption is not known.We studied two patients with type IV glycogen storage disease 37 and 91 months after liver transplantation and a third patient with lysosomal ...

Unifying the Communities of Early‐Onset Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV and Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease Through a Genetic Prevalence Study of GBE1‐Related Disease [PDF]
Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in GBE1, resulting in deficient glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) activity and formation of abnormal glycogen (“polyglucosan”).
