Introduction
Andersen's Disease, also known as Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV, is a glycogen storage disease due to an enzyme defect. This enzyme defect leads to the inability of the body converting glycogen (long-branched chain of glucose) into glucose, leading to an accumulation of glycogen in the body's tissue. Eventually, this leads to hepatosplenomegaly (enlargement of spleen and liver), cirrhosis of the liver (scarring of liver), and hepatic (liver) failure are major concerns.

Till the next time!
