AbstractAdult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) represents a complex autosomal recessive inherited neurometabolic disorder due to homozygous or compound heterozygous pathogenic variants inGBE1gene, resulting in deficiency of glycogen‐branching enzyme and secondary storage of glycogen in the form of polyglucosan bodies, involving the skeletal muscle, diaphragm, peripheral nerve (including autonomic fibers), brain white matter, spinal cord, nerve roots, cerebellum, brainstem and to a lesser extent heart, lung, kidney, and liver cells. The diversity of new clinical presentations regarding neuromuscular involvement is astonishing and transformed APBD in a key differential diagnosis of completely different clinical conditions, including axonal and demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy, progressive spastic paraparesis, motor neuronopathy presentations, autonomic disturbances, leukodystrophies or even pure myopathic involvement with limb‐girdle pattern of weakness. This review article aims to summarize the main clinical, biochemical, genetic, and diagnostic aspects regarding APBD with special focus on neuromuscular presentations.
