A Case of Von Gierke’s Disease Associated with Chromosomal Anomaly (Results of Triamcinolone and Halotestin Treatment)

Abstract

This case presents a 6-year-old male patient with Von Gierke disease (Type Ia glycogen storage disorder) accompanied by a chromosomal anomaly, identified as partial trisomy 17–18. Biopsy and enzymatic studies revealed markedly elevated hepatic glycogen content and significantly reduced glucose-6-phosphatase activity. Initial treatment with triamcinolone for 2 months showed no improvement in enzyme activity or clinical outcomes. Subsequently, Halotestin therapy was initiated and continued for 17 months, resulting in improved tolerance to fasting and infections, growth acceleration, and moderate liver size reduction—despite unchanged enzyme activity. The study discusses treatment response and pathophysiological findings in the context of genetic aberration.
