Question

Describe what you would see in an electron micrograph of a liver cell from an individual with pompe's disease

Answer 1

Answer:

            Pompe's disease is also known as glycong type 2 disease. it is an autosomal recessive disease in which the lysosome is unable to metabolize glycogen due to the absence of acid aplha glucosidase enzyme. As a result glycogen are stored in liver and muscle cells.

if an infected liver with popme's disease is observed under electron micrograph, a large granules of glycogen will be seen.
