Polyglucosan body myopathy type 2 (PGBM2; OMIM #616199) is an autosomal recessive myopathy caused by biallelic variants in GYG1, which encodes glycogenin-1. It is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and PAS-positive, diastase-resistant polyglucosan inclusions on muscle biopsy. We report a 64-year-old woman who developed progressive proximal weakness beginning in her early 50s, with polyglucosan bodies...
