Glycogen storage disease type IX

Glycogen storage disease type IX is a hereditary deficiency of glycogen phosphorylase kinase B that affects the liver and skeletal muscle tissue. It is inherited in an X-linked or autosomal recessive manner.[1]

Glycogen storage disease IX
Glycogen structure
SymptomsEnlarged liver[1]
CausesMutations in PHKA1, PHKA2, PHKB, or PHKG2 genes[2]
Diagnostic methodCBC, Urinalysis[1][3]
TreatmentPhysical therapy, follow metabolic nutritionist[1]

Signs and symptoms

edit

The signs and symptoms in glycogen storage disease type IX include:[1]

Most of these signs and symptoms diminish as adulthood sets in.[1]

Genetics

edit

Glycogen storage disease type IX can be inherited via:[2][4]

Diagnosis

edit
 
Histological study (Microscope with stained slide)

The diagnosis of glycogen storage disease IX consists of the following:[1][3]

Types

edit

There are two types of this inherited condition, glycogen storage disease IXa1 and glycogen storage disease IXa2 that affect the liver of an individual.[6] Mutations in PHKA2 have been seen in individuals with glycogen storage disease IXa2.[medical citation needed]

Management

edit
 
Glucose

The management of Glycogen storage disease IX requires treatment of symptoms by frequent intake of complex carbohydrates and protein to combat the low blood sugar. A nutritionist will advise on suitable diets. Liver function is regularly monitored and problems managed as they arise. However, liver problems have only been successfully treated by a transplant. Routine checks of metabolism are needed to ensure blood sugar (glucose) and ketones are managed. Regular moderate exercise is beneficial, although over-vigorous exercise is to be avoided, especially in those with enlarged livers.[1][7]
