Glycogen storage disease XV(GSD15)

MedGen UID:
462104
Concept ID:
C3150754
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: GLYCOGENIN DEFICIENCY; GSD XV; GSD15
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
 
Gene (location): GYG1 (3q24)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0013291
OMIM®: 613507
Orphanet: ORPHA263297

Definition

Glycogen storage disease type 15 is an extremely rare genetic glycogen storage disease reported in one patient to date. Clinical signs included muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmia associated with accumulation of abnormal storage material in the heart and glycogen depletion in skeletal muscle. [from ORDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Scapular winging
MedGen UID:
66822
Concept ID:
C0240953
Anatomical Abnormality
Abnormal protrusion of the scapula away from the surface of the back.
Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia
MedGen UID:
18315
Concept ID:
C0030591
Disease or Syndrome
Episodes of ventricular tachycardia that have a sudden onset and ending.
Ventricular fibrillation
MedGen UID:
21844
Concept ID:
C0042510
Disease or Syndrome
Uncontrolled contractions of muscles fibers in the left ventricle not producing contraction of the left ventricle. Ventricular fibrillation usually begins with a ventricular premature contraction and a short run of rapid ventricular tachycardia degenerating into uncoordinating ventricular fibrillations.
Right bundle branch block
MedGen UID:
88445
Concept ID:
C0085615
Disease or Syndrome
A conduction block of the right branch of the bundle of His. This manifests as a prolongation of the QRS complex (greater than 0.12 s) with delayed activation of the right ventricle and terminal delay on the EKG.
ST segment elevation
MedGen UID:
99256
Concept ID:
C0520886
Finding
An electrocardiographic anomaly in which the ST segment is observed to be located superior to the isoelectric line.
T-wave inversion
MedGen UID:
105467
Concept ID:
C0520888
Finding
An inversion of the T-wave (which is normally positive).
Muscle weakness
MedGen UID:
57735
Concept ID:
C0151786
Finding
Reduced strength of muscles.
Type 1 muscle fiber predominance
MedGen UID:
344274
Concept ID:
C1854387
Finding
An abnormal predominance of type I muscle fibers (in general, this feature can only be observed on muscle biopsy).
Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy
MedGen UID:
909741
Concept ID:
C4227331
Finding
An increase in cell size, enhanced protein synthesis, and heightened organization of the sarcomere within cardiac myocytes.
