Authoring team

This is a glycogen storage disease that is characterized by the formation of abnormally structured glycogen in the liver. This condition is caused by a defect of the 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme.

Diagnosis is based on biochemical assay of appropriate tissues (leucocytes, liver, muscle).

This condition usually results in death within the first three years of life.
