🔬 What is Glycogen Storage Disease?

GSDs are a group of inherited disorders caused by defects in the enzymes responsible for building or breaking down glycogen (the body's stored form of glucose). Depending on the type, they primarily affect the liver, muscles, or both, leading to low blood sugar, liver enlargement, muscle weakness, or exercise intolerance.

While dietary therapy remains the cornerstone of management for most types, ongoing research into gene therapy is opening new treatment possibilities for long-term disease control.
