Genetic Diseases Glycogen storage disease. Glycogen storage disease (GSD, also glycogenosis and dextrinosis) is the result of defects in the processing of glycogen synthesis or breakdown within muscles, liver, and other cell types. GSD has two classes of cause: genetic and acquired.

What is Gaucher Disease? What is Gaucher Disease? Gaucher disease in its three forms—Type I, Type II, and Type III—is an inherited storage disease that results from the deficiency of an enzyme, acid beta-glucosidase, that is necessary for the breakdown of a particular fatty substance, glucosyl ceramide.

Glycogen Storage Disease in Cats Causes of Glycogen Storage Disease in Cats The one cause of GSD IV was originally due to inbreeding. This led the genetic line of Norwegian Forest cats (and eventually select other, closely related cats who bred with Norwegian Forest cats) to have a deficiency of a glycogen branching enzyme that aids in glycogen metabolism.

Gaucher's disease Gaucher's disease. Gaucher's disease or Gaucher disease (/ɡoʊˈʃeɪ/) (GD) is a genetic disorder in which glucocerebroside (a sphingolipid, also known as glucosylceramide) accumulates in cells and certain organs.

- Pompe (POM-pay) disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type II or acid maltase deficiency, is a rare genetic disorder that results in profound muscle weakness. The disease is caused by mutations in the gene that instructs the body to make an enzyme called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA).

Glycogen Glycogen functions as the secondary long-term energy storage, with the primary energy stores being fats held in adipose tissue. Muscle glycogen is converted into glucose by muscle cells, and liver glycogen converts to glucose for use throughout the body including the central nervous system.lycogen is found in the form of granules in the cytosol /cytoplasm in many cell types, and plays an important role in the glucose cycle.

Glycogen storage disease type I Since these are the two principal metabolic mechanisms by which the liver supplies glucose to the rest of the body during periods of fasting, it causes severe hypoglycemia and results in increased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys.

Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency (GBED) Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency (GBED) Summary. Glycogen branching enzyme deficiency (GBED) is an inherited disease that leads to stillbirths and spontaneous abortions, and cardiac or respiratory failure, seizures, muscle weakness, and sudden death or euthanasia in foals under 18 weeks old. GBED results from a variant of the gene encoding the glycogen branching enzyme, GBE1. The variant form of this enzyme is unable to form α1,6 glycogen branches, leading to an inability to store functional glycogen in muscle and liver.

glycogen storage disease type III Glycogen storage disease type III (GSD III)—also known as Cori disease or Forbes disease—is an inherited condition in which the deficiency of an enzyme called glycogen debranching enzyme results in various complications, notably involving the liver and muscles. minority of people with the disease also have a mildly enlarged heart, though its function is usually normal. Low blood sugar and feelings of tiredness may occur with GSD III, although they are less common and less severe than with another form of GSD, type I.

glucose Glucose that is not needed for energy is stored in the form of glycogen as a source of potential energy, readily available when needed. Most of the glycogen is stored in the liver and muscle cells. When these and other body cells are saturated with glycogen, the excess glucose is converted into fat and stored as adipose tissue. See also hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia.

Diseases of Carbohydrate and Fatty Acid Metabolism in Muscle Phosphofructokinase deficiency (Tarui's disease, glycogenosis type VII) is an autosomal recessive myopathy caused by a genetic defect of the muscle (M) subunit of the rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis, PFK (Fig. 42-1). Presenting symptoms are cramps after intense exercise, followed by myoglobinuria in some patients.cid maltase deficiency (AMD) (glycogenosis type II) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a genetic defect of the lysosomal enzyme acid maltase, an α-1,4- and α-1,6-glucosidase capable of digesting glycogen completely to glucose (Fig. 42-1).

Pompe disease Pompe disease. Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type 2, acid maltase deficiency) is a rare genetic disorder which causes progressive muscle weakness. It affects around 1 in 40,000 births and is a recessive genetic disease, meaning both parents must carry the faulty gene.

Glycogen Storage Disease in Children What is glycogen storage disease? Glycogen storage disease (GSD) is a rare condition that changes the way the body uses and stores glycogen, a form of sugar or glucose. Glycogen is a main source of energy for the body. Glycogen is stored in the liver. When the body needs more energy, certain proteins called enzymes break down glycogen into glucose.

Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy (PSSM) At least 20 breeds have been identified with Type 1 PSSM. The prevalence of the GYS1 mutation in Belgians is as much as 50% of and 8% of the Quarter Horse-related breeds. Horses make and store abnormal muscle glycogen and cannot tolerate dietary starches and sugars.olysaccharide Storage Myopathy (PSSM) is a dominant autosomal hereditary condition that causes a genetic form of tying-up with muscle damage and inability to move. PSSM Type1 is causes by a single base pair substitution in GYS1 gene, thereby changing the amino acid sequence of the glycogen synthase enzyme.

A to Z List of Neurological Disorders Gaucher disease is the most common of the lipid storage diseases. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Fatty material can collect in the spleen, liver, kidneys, lungs, brain, and bone marrow.he GM2 gangliosidoses also cause the body to store excess acidic fatty materials in tissues and cells, most notably in nerve cells. These disorders result from a deficiency of the enzyme beta-hexosaminidase. The GM2 disorders include: 1  Tay-Sachs disease (also known as GM2 gangliosidosis-variant B).

Diseases Caused by Lipids Gaucher's Disease. Gaucher's disease is the most common type of lipid storage disease. It is by caused by a deficiency of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase. In this inherited disease fat collects in the brain, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys and bone marrow.ipid or fatty acid oxidation disorders are caused by a deficiency or lack of the enzymes needed to break down fats to produce energy. This decreases energy in the body and leads to delayed physical and mental development, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Learning About Gaucher Disease Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of metabolism where a type of fat (lipid) called glucocerebroside cannot be adequately degraded. Normally, the body makes an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase that breaks down and recycles glucocerebroside - a normal part of the cell membrane.
