Additional Information

Glycogen storage disease (GSD) is the result of defects in the processing of glycogen synthesis or breakdown within muscles, liver, and other cell types. GSD in humans is genetic caused by an inborn error of metabolism (genetically defective enzymes) involved in these processes. There is insufficient evidence to determine whether donations from a baby with a glycogen storage disease could present a risk to recipients.
