Overview

Glycogen storage disease type 2 is an autosomal recessive disorder. Glycogen storage disease type 2 is caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal acid alpha-1,4-glucosidase enzyme. GAA gene responsible for the lysosomal acid alpha-1,4-glucosidase enzyme deficiency is located on chromosome 17q25.

Causes

  • Glycogen storage disease type 2 is an autosomal recessive disorder.[1]
  • Glycogen storage disease type 2 is caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal acid alpha-1,4-glucosidase enzyme. GAA gene responsible for the lysosomal acid alpha-1,4-glucosidase enzyme deficiency is located on chromosome17q25.[1][2][3][4]
