Glycogen storage diseases a group of diseases characterized by the accumulation of glycogen.

Clinical picture

  • Exercise intolerance
  • Usually due to specific muscle enzyme defects

DDx:

  • Mitochondriopathies
  • Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPT2) deficiency

General microscopic

Features:[1]

  • +/-Vacuolated muscle fibres.
  • acid phosphatase+ve in vaculoes.
  • PAS+ve.

Images:

  • Abnormal glycogen is not easy to spot in this muscle biopsy HE stain (WC/jensflorian)

  • Intramuscular glycogen is usually PAS+++ve (WC/jensflorian)

  • Lack of staining in intramuscular deposits, Trichrom Gömöri (WC/jensflorian)

  • Lafora-like polyglucosan bodies in the CNS, low magnification (WC/jensflorian)

  • Lafora-like polyglucosan bodies in the CNS, higher magnification(WC/marvin101)

  • Large vacuoles in the liver, HE stain (WC/Netha Hussain)

Electron microscopy

  • Electron dense deposits.

Specific diseases

Pompe disease

  • AKA glycogen storage disease type II, AKA acid maltase deficiency, AKA alpha-1,4-glucosidase deficiency.[2]

General

  • Deficiency of alpha-1,4-glucosidase; it degrades glycogen to glucose in lysosomes.
  • Autosomal recessive inheritance.
  • Identified in 1932 by dutch pathologist Johannes C. Pompe.[3]
  • A enzyme replacement therapy exists. [4]

Clinical

  • infantile onset (usually at age 4-8months):
    • Floppy baby.
    • Macroglossia.
    • Hepatomegaly.
    • Big heart - often early death from cardiac failure.
  • late onset (usually at age 1-2years):
    • Progressive muscle weakness (myopathy).
    • Usually only mild cardiac involvement.

Note: clinical course correlates with remaining enzyme activity.[5]

Diagnosis

  • Mutations in acid alpha-glucosidase.
  • Elevated serum CK (<10x).
  • Cytoplasmic (lysosomal) vacuoles (Acid phosphatase +ve).
  • Muscle fibers with vacuoles enlarged.
  • Type 1 fibers more often affected.
  • PAS+ve deposits.
  • Autophagic (Lysosomal) vacuoles in electron microscopy.

  • Large vacuoles in Pompe disease (H&E, WC/jensflorian)

  • Clinical phenotype in Pompe disease (WC/Wens et. al.)

Cori disease

  • AKA glycogen storage disease type III.[6]

General

  • Hepatomegaly.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Hypertrophic hepatocytes with pale cytoplasm.
    • Classically: PAS +ve, PAS-D -ve.
  • Portal fibrosis.
