Glycogen storage disease type IX with enlarged livers. Glycogen storage disease type IX Glycogen storage disease type IX is a hereditary deficiency of glycogen phosphorylase kinase B that affects the liver and skeletal muscle tissue. It is inherited in an X-linked or autosomal recessive manner. The signs and symptoms in glycogen storage disease type IX include: Most of these signs and symptoms diminish as adulthood sets in. Glycogen storage disease type IX can be inherited via: The diagnosis of glycogen storage disease IX consists of the following: There are two types of this inherited condition, "glycogen storage disease IXa1" and "glycogen storage disease IXa2" that
Glycogen storage disease type V phenomenon that occurs when muscle is poisoned by iodoacetate, a substance that blocks breakdown of glycogen into glucose and prevents the formation of lactate. Dr. McArdle accurately concluded that the patient had a disorder of glycogen breakdown that specifically affected skeletal muscle. The associated enzyme deficiency was discovered in 1959 by W. F. H. M. Mommaerts et al. Glycogen storage disease type V Glycogen storage disease type V (GSD-V) is a metabolic disorder, more specifically a glycogen storage disease, caused by a deficiency of myophosphorylase. Its incidence is reported as one in 100,000, roughly the same as glycogen storage disease
