Glycogen Storage diseases
What are the symptoms?
Some disorders affect the liver (types I, IV, VI & IX), some the muscles (types V & VII) and some both (type III). Disorders affecting the liver lead to liver enlargement and can be associated with a tendency to a low blood sugar. Those affecting the muscles cause muscle weakness and sometimes kidney disease. Other problems may also arise depending on the particular type of GSD. Type II GSD (Pompe disease) is both biochemically and clinically very different to the other GSDs.
