Type IV glycogen storage disease: first reported case in Thailand
Abstract
Glycogen storage disease type IV is rare. The disease is characterized by widespread storage of a polysaccharide similar to amylopectin. An autopsy case of a 6-year-old Thai boy with cirrhosis and deposits in the liver, heart, muscle and central nervous system was described along with histochemical and electron microscopic findings.
