Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Type III glycogen storage disease (GSD-III, McKusick 232400), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, also known as Cori's or Forbe's disease. The affected enzyme is amylo-1,6-glucosidase, 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (glycogen debrancher enzyme, GDE or amylogluco-sidase, AGL), which is responsible for the debranching of the glycogen molecule during catabolism. The AGL gene is located on chromosome 1p21...
