Adult polyglucosan body disease: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the brain and novel mutation in the <i>GBE1</i> gene
9 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble glucose polymers within the central and peripheral nervous systems. A common missense mutation in the glycogen branching enzyme (GBE1) gene has been identified in Ashkenazi patients with APBD. We report on a non-Jewish patient with APBD on whom we performed proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging of the brain. GBE...
