Glycogen Storage Diseases: Comparison

Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Vicky Zhou and Version 1 by Alberto Molares-Vila.

Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are metabolic disorders of glycogen metabolism. In aggregate, GSDs are not considered rare diseases, but every individual type are. The overall estimated GSD incidence is 1 case per 20,000-43,000 live births, and a prevalence of 1:100,000 is considered for main types (including I, II, II, V and IX). There are 19 types which are classified by enzyme deficiency and affected tissue. Most of them are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, except for one X-linked GSDIX and Danon subtypes. Disorders related with creation, deposits and degradation of glycogen, may primarily affect the liver (hepatic GSDs), the muscles (muscle GSDs), or in a multiorganic manner (mainly Pompe). The common characteristic of all types of GSDs is the alteration of some step in glycogenolysis/glycolysis pathway, as can be seen in figures 1a and 1b.

Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are metabolic disorders of glycogen metabolism. In aggregate, GSDs are not considered rare diseases, but every individual type are. The overall estimated GSD incidence is 1 case per 20,000-43,000 live births ^[1], and a prevalence of 1:100,000 is considered for main types (including I, II, II, V and IX). There are 19 types which are classified by enzyme deficiency and affected tissue. Most of them are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, except for one X-linked GSDIX and Danon subtypes. Disorders related with creation, deposits and degradation of glycogen, may primarily affect the liver (hepatic GSDs), the muscles (muscle GSDs), or in a multiorganic manner (mainly Pompe) ^[2]. The common characteristic of all types of GSDs is the alteration of some step in glycogenolysis/glycolysis pathway, as can be seen in figures 1a and 1b ^{[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]}.

2. The Most Prevalent Diseases

The most prevalent diseases are as follows:

1). Glycogen storage disease type I (GSDI, Von Gierke disease) is characterized by the accumulation of glycogen and fat in the kidneys and liver, resulting in renomegaly and hepatomegaly, which may give rise to a hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) or even to become malignant as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

^[14]

. The overall incidence of GSDI is 1:100,000. Affected neonates who are not medically treated have severe hypoglycaemia. Other children not treated present with hepatomegaly, lactic acidosis, hyperuricemia, hyperlipidaemia, hypertriglyceridemia, or hypoglycaemic seizures, usually from four months after birth. Another issue to consider is impaired platelet function, which can lead to bleeding and epistaxis. The variant GSDIb shows an impaired neutrophil and monocyte function and chronic neutropenia, in addition to complications mentioned before. This leads to recurrent bacterial infections and oral and intestinal mucosal ulcers. In general, untreated GSDI quickly leads to multiple complications. Most affected individuals live to adulthood. GSDI is diagnosed by identifying biallelic pathogenic variants:

GSDIa, caused by a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase or G6PC1) catalytic activity;
GSDIb, GSDIc and GSDId, caused by different defects in the glucose-6-phosphate transporter (SLC37A4).

2). Glycogen storage disease type II (GSDII, Pompe disease), with an incidence variability depending on ethnicity and geographic region, from 1:14,000 in African Americans to 1:100,000 in individuals of European descent, is classified by age of onset, organ involvement, severity, and rate of progression

^[15]

Infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD); in children younger than 12 months, the clinical manifestations include cardiomyopathy, which may already be evident in the uterus. However, the most typical onset of the disease occurs at around 4 months. In this case, patients most frequently present with hypotonia, a muscle weakness that occurs in a generalized manner, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These patients usually have serious difficulties feeding and breathing. If not treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), patients with IOPD usually die after two years from progressive left ventricular outflow obstruction and respiratory insufficiency.
Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD; including (a) individuals with onset before the age of 12 months without cardiomyopathy and (b) all individuals with onset after the age of 12 months) is characterized by proximal muscle weakness and respiratory insufficiency. Clinically significant cardiac involvement is uncommon.

The diagnosis of GSDII is established in a proband with either deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme (GAA) activity or biallelic pathogenic GAA variants based on molecular genetic testing.

3). Glycogen storage disease type III (GSDIII, Cori-Forbes disease), with an incidence of 1:100,000 too, is characterized by variable liver, cardiac muscle, and skeletal muscle involvement. GSDIIIa is the most common subtype, present in about 85% of affected individuals

3). Glycogen storage disease type III (GSDIII, Cori-Forbes disease), with an incidence of 1:100,000 too, is characterized by variable liver, cardiac muscle, and skeletal muscle involvement. GSDIIIa is the most common subtype, present in about 85% of affected individuals

^[16]

. It manifests with liver and muscle involvement. GSDIIIb, with liver involvement only, comprises about 15% of all GSDIII. The clinical significance of GSDIII ranges from almost no symptoms to severe cardiac dysfunction, congestive heart failure, and, rarely, sudden death. Skeletal myopathy manifests as muscle weakness but is rarely evident in childhood because it progresses slowly. This acquires greater relevance in the third to fourth decades of life. The diagnosis is made by identifying biallelic pathogenic variants in glycogen debranching enzyme, amylo-alpha-1,6-glucosidase, or 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (AGL).

4). Type V glycogen storage disease (GSDV, McArdle’s disease) is a metabolic myopathy whose main characteristic is exercise intolerance. Incidence roughly reaches 1:100,000

^[17]

. Symptomatologically, patients present with rapid onset fatigue, myalgia, and muscle cramps

^[18]

. The symptomatology is more acute with exercise, and symptoms are usually isometric or sustained aerobic exercise. It is common for patients to experience greater exercise by exploiting the “second wind” phenomenon, which relieves myalgia and fatigue after resting for a few minutes. Normally GSDV symptoms appears in the first decade of life. Twenty-five percent of patients will present with weakness that mainly affects the proximal muscles. The diagnosis is made using PYGM molecular genetic tests (which encode glycogen phosphorylase, muscle form). This is the only known gene associated with GSDV.

5). Glycogen storage disease types VIII and IX (GSDVIII and GSDIX), results from a liver phosphorylase b kinase enzyme deficiency, which plays an important role in the decomposition of glycogen

^[19]

. One type is hepatic PhK deficiency (GSDIX), characterized by the presence of early-onset hepatomegaly. There is also growth retardation and, often, fasting ketosis and hypoglycaemia. Another variant is muscle PhK deficiency (GSDVIII), much less common and related to physical exercise intolerance, myalgia, muscular cramps, myoglobinuria, and progressive muscular weakness. The PhK enzyme comprises four subunits (α, β, γ, and δ). Pathogenic variants of PHKA1, which encodes the α subunit, cause the rare muscular deficiency of the X-linked disorder. The pathogenic variants of PHKA2, which also codes for the α subunit, are responsible for the most frequent variant, hepatic PhK deficiency (X-linked hepatic glycogenosis). Incidence for GSD IXα is about 1:100,000 individuals

^[20]. Pathogenic variants of PHKB, which encodes the β subunit, cause PhK deficiency in both the liver and muscle. Those of PHKG2, which encodes the γ subunit, cause PhK deficiency in the liver. The diagnosis is enhanced by clinical findings from assessing the activity of PhK in erythrocytes or the liver or muscle tissues (depending on the variant to be treated), and definitive confirmation from molecular genetic testing.
