Fast Facts: Perio Edition "Periodontitis as a Manifestation of Systemic Disease - Glycogen Storage Disease"

On this week's episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition, Katrina Sanders, we are continuing the conversation around periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease discussing patients that present with Glycogen Storage Disease. Quotes:  "In individuals who have glycogen storage disease, these individuals are missing one particular type of an enzyme that will allow that breakdown of glycogen into glucose to occur." "By the way, there are ten different types of glycogen storage diseases classification zero all the way up to nine. But the vast majority of glycogen storage disease patients will fall in either type one, which is von Gierke's disease. Type three Cori disease can also be called Forbes disease or type four Andersen's disease." "The main piece of information to know with regards to individuals who have glycogen storage disease is that this is oftentimes seen early on in youth, it's hereditary, so it's passed down from the parents to the child through an abnormal gene mutation."
