In the GSD table, there is no description of the structure of glycogen in Hers disease. What would you guess it would look like relative to normal glycogen structure?

GSD are glycogen storage diseases which are inherited diseases for metabolic disorders with regard to carbohydrate metabolism. GSD occurs where there would be failure in glycogen conversion and would be accumulated as toxins. GSD type 6 is which is referred to as Hers disease. This refers to a disease in which there is deficiency of hepatic phosphorylase which would be required for activation of liver phosphorylase.
