Glycogen storage disorders
עלון מידע

Glycogen storage disorders are a group of inherited diseases. They result from a problem with one of the proteins (known as enzymes) involved in the conversion of glucose to glycogen, or the breakdown of glycogen back into glucose. They mostly tend to affect your liver and muscles. Most are diagnosed in childhood. Symptoms include weakness, tiredness and low blood sugar levels. Newer treatment possibilities provide hope for an improved outlook (prognosis). Most people with a glycogen storage disorder respond well to treatment. However, type II (infantile Pompe's disease) can be difficult to treat and can affect life expectancy.
