Cori disease
Cori disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type III, is a genetic condition where the body can't properly break down glycogen—a stored form of sugar used for energy. This leads to an abnormal buildup of glycogen in muscles and the liver, causing symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood sugar, and an enlarged liver. Individuals are often diagnosed in childhood and require specialized management, including a diet that helps maintain blood sugar levels and regular medical monitoring. While it can be serious, with proper care, many people can lead active lives.
