Diagnosis and genetic analysis of a case with glycogen storage disease type V caused by compound heterozygous mutations in the PYGM gene.

Abstract excerpt

Glycogen storage disease type V is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by muscle glycogen phosphorylase (PYGM) deficiency, which is characterized by exercise intolerance, second wind phenomena and high level of serum creatine kinase. In this study, we reported a Chinese young man with glycogen storage disease type V, with lower extremity weakness after exercise, increased creatine kinase, and slight...
