Glycogen storage disease (GSD) and mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are both independently inherited disorders. GSD is a member of a group of genetic disorders involving enzymes responsible for the synthesis and degradation of glycogen. GSD leads to abnormal tissue concentrations of glycogen, primarily in the liver, muscle, or both. MPS is a member of a group of inherited lysosomal storage diseases, which...

Chronic exposure to fructose may lead to progressive hepatic injury, renal injury, growth retardation, and ultimately to liver and kidney failure. Herein, we report a case of HFI with presentation of episodic vomiting, diarrhea, cold...
