We observed the development of generalized amyloidosis in a girl with glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD-Ib) who showed neutropenia, neutrophil dysfunction and recurrent infections. Renal and thyroid biopsies showed secondary amyloidosis, characterized by the presence of potassium permanganate sensitive Dylon positive deposits in glomeruli, renal vessels and thyroid interstitium. Immunohistochemistry showed that the deposits were composed of amyloid A (AA) protein. Possibly neutrophil abnormalities are involved in the pathogenesis of amyloidosis.

D005953 Glycogen Storage Disease Type I An autosomal recessive disease in which gene expression of glucose-6-phosphatase is absent, resulting in hypoglycemia due to lack of glucose production. Accumulation of glycogen in liver and kidney leads to organomegaly, particularly massive hepatomegaly. Increased concentrations of lactic acid and hyperlipidemia appear in the plasma. Clinical gout often appears in early childhood.

D000686 Amyloidosis A group of sporadic, familial and/or inherited, degenerative, and infectious disease processes, linked by the common theme of abnormal protein folding and deposition of AMYLOID. As the amyloid deposits enlarge they displace normal tissue structures, causing disruption of function. Various signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the deposits. Amyloidoses
