Nutrition Management in Children Less than 5 Years of Age with Glycogen Storage Disease Type I: Survey Results.

Nutrition management for GSD Type I (GSDI; OMIM #232200, 232220) is complex, with the goal being to maintain euglycemia while minimizing metabolic derangements. Management guidelines were published in 2002 and 2014. However, there is limited information on the nuances of nutrition management and the unique feeding challenges of children.

The interplay of psychosis and non-compliance with fatal outcome in an adult with MSUD.

Significant progress has been achieved in enhancing early outcomes for individuals with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), a rare metabolic disorder that leads to the accumulation of branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine, where leucine is known as the primary neurotoxic metabolite. Newborn screening is helpful in early diagnosis and implementation of dietary treatment, thus reducing neurological deterioration and complications in young children. However, patients face the life-long challenge of maintaining metabolic control through adherence to a strict low-leucine diet to avoid long-term consequences of chronic hyperleucinemia, which include cognitive deficits, mood disorders, and movement disorders.

Treatment recommendations for glycogen storage disease type IB- associated neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction with empagliflozin: Consensus from an international workshop.

Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD Ib, biallelic variants in SLC37A4) is a rare disorder of glycogen metabolism complicated by neutropenia/neutrophil dysfunction. Since 2019, the SGLT2-inhibitor empagliflozin has provided a mechanism-based treatment option for the symptoms caused by neutropenia/neutrophil dysfunction (e.g.

Development of hepatocellular adenomas in a patient with glycogen storage disease Ia treated with growth hormone therapy.

Glycogen storage disease Ia (GSD Ia), also known as von Gierke disease, is caused by pathogenic variants in the gene (OMIM 232200) which encodes glucose-6-phosphatase. Deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase impairs the processes of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis by preventing conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose. Clinical features include fasting hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperuricemia, hepatomegaly, and development of hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs) with potential for malignant transformation.

Diagnosis and management of glycogen storage disease type IV, including adult polyglucosan body disease: A clinical practice resource.

Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is an ultra-rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in GBE1 which results in reduced or deficient glycogen branching enzyme activity. Consequently, glycogen synthesis is impaired and leads to accumulation of poorly branched glycogen known as polyglucosan. GSD IV is characterized by a remarkable degree of phenotypic heterogeneity with presentations in utero, during infancy, early childhood, adolescence, or middle to late adulthood.
