Neuromuscular syndromes are presented clinically either as a case study or as an overview from the literature, accompanied by text presenting molecular defects, and differential diagnosis. [books.google.de]

Clinical Presentation  Hepatic Presentation  Hepatomegaly, short stature, hypoglycemia, and hyperlipidemia predominate in children, may be indistinguishable from GSD I.  Splenomegaly can be present.  kidneys are not enlarged and renal function is [slideshare.net]

The clinical presentation is that of progressive/relapsing and remitting muscle weakness present for more than 2 months, symmetrical proximal and distal extremity weakness and hyporeflexia. [neuroweb.us]

Additionally, even though most myopathies present with proximal shoulder and girdle weaknesses, some forms may present with distal weakness and, thereby, mimic neuropathies. [mayomedicallaboratories.com]

Age In its classic form, glycogen-storage disease type IV presents during the first year of life with hepatosplenomegaly and failure to thrive. Patients with nonprogressive liver disease may present later in childhood. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis [ edit ] A 2009 review noted that muscle weakness usually begins after age 20 and after 20–30 years, the person usually requires a wheel chair for mobility. [en.wikipedia.org]

The course of AMSAN is typically fulminant and the prognosis is generally poor. Median time to regain ability to walk 5 meters with assistance is 1 month. Iv immunoglobulin are less effective than in GBS. [neuroweb.us]

Treatment and Prognosis: Fewer than 20% of patients survive beyond 3 years. Response to corticosteroids is variable, but some do respond. Most require a 2nd line cytotoxic agent. BMT for refractory cases. [sites.google.com]

Etiology The etiology of GSD is best understood by following the metabolic events leading to the synthesis (glycogenesis) and degradation of glycogen (glycogenolysis). [knowledge.statpearls.com]
