Glycogen storage disease type III (GSD-III) or Cori/Forbes disease, is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the AGL gene, which codes for the glycogen debranching enzyme (GDE) involved in the release of glucose-1P from glycogen branches. Abnormal glycogen accumulation is responsible for frequent hypoglycaemia and symptoms in the liver and striated muscles (GSD-IIIa), although some patients present with liver involvement only (GSD-IIIb). In childhood, the phenotype is mainly characterised by hepatomegaly, short stature and hypoglycaemia, with minimal skeletal muscle involvement. While liver symptoms improve spontaneously around puberty, skeletal muscle weakness develops progressively in adulthood and becomes a major feature of GSD-IIIa. Currently, there is no treatment other than dietary management tailored to the individual to limit glycogen storage and avoid hypoglycaemia. The F
