Lysosomal glycogen storage in muscle with normal acid maltase activity is a rare inherited condition characterized by cardiomyopathy, mental retardation and mild myopathy in males, but generally only cardiomyopathy in females. Three cases (index case, his sister and her son) are described in a family with at least two other affected members. The index case underwent a successful heart transplant. The sister has cardiac involvement, myopathic changes and mental impairment--to our knowledge the first report of multisystem involvement in a female. We propose that skeletal muscle should be examined in young patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, female relatives of males with the disease should be investigated for cardiomyopathy; they would be excellent candidates for life-saving heart transplant, since myopathy and mental retardation, if clinically evident, are mild.

D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D005087 Glucan 1,4-alpha-Glucosidase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal 1,4-linked alpha-D-glucose residues successively from non-reducing ends of polysaccharide chains with the release of beta-glucose. It is also able to hydrolyze 1,6-alpha-glucosidic bonds when the next bond in sequence is 1,4. 1,4-alpha-Glucosidase, Exo,Amyloglucosidase,Exo-1,4-alpha-Glucosidase,Glucoamylase,gamma-Amylase,Glucoamylase G1,Glucoamylase G2,1,4-alpha-Glucosidase, Glucan,Exo 1,4 alpha Glucosidase,Glucan 1,4 alpha Glucosidase,gamma Amylase

D006008 Glycogen Storage Disease A group of inherited metabolic disorders involving the enzymes responsible for the synthesis and degradation of glycogen. In some patients, prominent liver involvement is presented. In others, more generalized storage of glycogen occurs, sometimes with prominent cardiac involvement.
