Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV; Andersen's disease) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that results from defects in the GBE1 gene (3p12.2) and subsequent deficiencies of glycogen branching. We report a case of GSD IV diagnosed at autopsy in a 35 4/7 weeks gestational age female neonate that died shortly after birth. Multisystem blue, ground glass inclusions initially presumed artefactual were periodic acid-Schiff positive, diastase resistant. Chromosomal microarray analysis identified a deletion of exons 2 through 16 of the GBE1 gene and whole exome sequencing identified a nonsense mutation within exon 14, confirming the diagnosis of GSD IV. A strong index of suspicion was required determine GSD IV as the ultimate cause of death, illustrating the need for critical evaluation of postmortem artifact in the setting of fetal demise of unknown etiology and highlighting the role of postmortem molecular diagnostics in a subset of cases.

Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by glycogen–branching enzyme (GBE) deficiency, leading to accumulation of amylopectin–like glycogen that may damage affected tissues. The clinical manifestations of GSD IV are heterogeneous; one of which is the classic manifestation of progressive hepatic fibrosis. There is no specific treatment available for GSD IV. Currently, liver transplantation is an option. It is crucial to evaluate long–term outcomes of liver transplantation. We reviewed the published literature for GSD IV patients undergoing liver transplantation. To date, some successful liver transplantations have increased the quantity and quality of life in patients. Although the extrahepatic manifestations of GSD IV may still progress after transplantation, especially cardiomyopathy. Patients with cardiac involvement are candidates for cardiac transplantation. Liver transplantation remains the only effective therapeutic option for treatment of GSD IV. However, liver transplantation may not alter the extrahepatic progression of GSD IV. Patients should be carefully assessed before liver transplantation.
