Can anyone explain the difference in clinical presentation of Cori's Vs Pompei? pretty please?

 

[FoxyDoc]

Pompei's will always present with cardiac problems and Cori's will not. For what it's worth, I have done a TON of practice qs so far and I haven't seen a single q about Cori's.

Pompei's: type II glycogenosis caused by alpha-glucosidase (acid maltase) deficiency, a lysosomal enzyme. Presents w/ severe failure to thrive, death by 2-4 yo.

Cori's: type III glycogenosis caused by debranching enzyme deficiency. Accumulation of glycogen w/ abnormal structure, moderate hepatomegaly. Compatible w/ near normal lifespan (contrast w/ Anderson's --> branching enzyme deficiency --> severe hepatomegaly, early death).

Little memory key I use:

Pompe's trashes the Pump

AB=CD

Andersons--Branching enzyme
Cori's--Debranching enzyme

Also, first six glycogen storage diseases:
"Viagra Pills Cause A Mean Hard on!"
V--Von Gierkes, P--Pompe's, C--Cori's, A--Andersons, M--McArdles, H--Hers

Hope that helps
