Glycogen Storage Disease Type II Type

The types of GSDs are made by a group of enzymes that are all of them. Each GSD has its own symptoms and requires different treatments.

 

There are many types of GSD, but the most common types are I, III, and IV. These types are also known by other names:

 

1-Type I or von Gierke's disease - This is the most common form of GSD. People with type I do not have the enzyme necessary to convert glycogen into glucose in the liver. Glycogen is formed in the liver and these symptoms often appear in children aged 3 to 4 months. They may include low blood glucose and an inflamed stomach due to an enlarged liver.

 

 

2-Type III, Corey's Disease, or Forbes Disease-III - People with its type do not have enough enzymes, called debauching enzymes, that help break down glycogen. Glycogen cannot be completely broken down. It gathers in the liver and in the torch tissue. Symptoms include abdominal bloating, delayed growth, and weak torches.

 

 

3-type IV or Anderson disease IV – type people make abnormal glycogen. Experts believe that abnormal glycose triggers the body's infection-fighting system (immune system). It causes injuries to the liver and other organs such as the torch and heart.
