    Glycogen storage diseases are a group of metabolic disorders caused by defects in glycogen breakdown in the liver or muscle. Type I (von Gierke disease) is caused by a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase and results in an accumulation of glycogen and fat in the liver and kidneys. Type II (Pompe disease) is caused by a deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase and results in glycogen buildup in muscles throughout the body. Type III (Cori disease) is caused by a deficiency of debranching enzyme and results in glycogen buildup in the liver and muscle.
