Von-Gierke Disease - Glycogen Storage Disease Type I

Explore the intricacies of Von-Gierke Disease, also known as Glycogen Storage Disease Type I (GSD-I), in this comprehensive 31-minute video lecture. Delve into the biochemistry and genetics behind this condition, focusing on glycogen metabolism, glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme function, and carbohydrate metabolism. Learn about related enzymes such as branching and debranching enzymes, and compare Von-Gierke Disease with other glycogen storage disorders like Pompe, Cori, Andersen, McArdle, and Hers diseases. Understand the clinical manifestations, including fasting hypoglycemia and hyperuricemia, and their implications for patient care. Gain valuable insights into this rare genetic disorder through clear explanations and a helpful mnemonic device to aid in retention of key concepts.
