- Caused by a deficiency of an enzyme
- See general pathology
- Type II glycogenosis
- Deficiency of acid maltase
- In Shorthorn cattle
- Muscular weakness and incoordination
- Glycogen stored in skeletal muscle, heart and CNS
- Type I and II muscle fibres contain glycogen vacuoles
- Type III glycogenosis
- Deficiency of debranching enzyme
- In dogs
- Causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hepatomegaly
- Glycogen in skeletal and cardiac muscle, neurons nad hepatocytes
