@MickeySegal do we mean Glycogen branching (not brancher) enzyme? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4581599/

MickeySegal commented 1 year ago

Both names have been in use, but branching seems to be the preferred form now.

I switched in our term name and included brancher as a synonym.

Looking here, this phenotype can be measured in many tissues including blood. https://omim.org/entry/232500 Fibrblasts do not seem to be the most relevant tissue pathophysiologically. Maybe a blood/general term would do it?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK115333/ "The diagnosis is confirmed by the demonstration of glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) deficiency in liver, muscle, or skin fibroblasts [Brown & Brown 1983], and/or the identification of biallelic pathogenic variants in GBE1."

So fibroblasts do seem relevant, but a more general term would be fine.
