📋Overview
Also known as glycogen storage disease type II, this condition results from mutations that impair the body's ability to break down complex sugars. This metabolic failure leads to the progressive buildup of glycogen, which can impact the structural integrity and function of cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues.
The disorder typically presents across a clinical spectrum, ranging from a severe infantile-onset form to a more variable late-onset form. While the infantile-onset type often appears within the first months of life, the late-onset variety may manifest at any age from childhood through adulthood.
