GLYCOGEN STORAGE DISEASE TYPE III

An autosomal recessive metabolic mess due to deficient expression of amylo-1,6-glucosidase (one part of the glycogen debranching enzyme system). The clinical rate of the malady is similar to that of glycogen storage malady type I, but milder. Massive hepatomegaly, which is gift in young children, diminishes and occasionally disappears with age. Levels of glycogen with short outer divisions are elevated in muscle, liver, and erythrocytes. Six subgroups have been identified, with subgroups type IIIa and type IIIb being the most prevalent. Inheritance: autosomal recessive
