Overview

If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].

OR

Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

OR

Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • If left untreated, patients with glycogen storage disease type 3 grow slowly and puberty is delayed.[1]
  • The myopathy of glycogen storage disease type 3 typically develop in the third or fourth decades of life. It manifests as muscle weakness which is slow and progressive and usually involves large proximal muscle fo the shoulder and hips.
  • Accumulation of limit dextrin in cardiac muscles causes cardiomyopathy with echocardiographic findings similar to idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
  • Hepatomegaly improves as the age progresses.

Complications

  • Common complications of glycogen storage disease type III include:[2][3][4][5][6]
    • Left ventricular hypertrophy
    • Cardiomyopathy
    • Hyperlipidemia
      • Hypercholesterolemia
      • Hypertriglyceridemia

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
  • Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
  • The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
  • [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
  • The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
