Q

Type II GSD

A

Also known as Pomp disease
-Deficiency in acid maltase (alpha-gluconsidase). This enzyme is required for degradtaion of glycogen that slowly accumulates in the lysosome. Thus over time, the lysosome fills with glycogen and kills the cell. Death occurs by cardiac or respiratory failure.

Q

Type III GSD

A

Cori disease
-A defect in glycogen debranching enzyme, causing glycogen granules to grow large because only the non-branched chain can be degraded.

23
Q

Type V GSD

A

Also known as McArdle disease
-Defect in muscle glycogen phosphorylase, which renders the muscles unable to utilize stored glycogen.
Lead to exertional muscle weakness.
