Characteristic sign of glycogenosis is muscle pain during physical work. Blood examination usually reveals hypoglycemia. This pathology is caused by congenital deficiency of the following enzyme:
- A. γ-amylase
- B. Glycogen phosphorylase
- C. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
- D. α-amylase
- E. Lysosomal glycosidase
Hint
Think about which step in the mobilisation of stored glycogen would be defective if exercising muscle cramps and blood sugar also falls.
