IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents X-linked LAMP2 lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 deficiency as Danon disease / glycogen storage disease type IIb. The biochemical signal is dominated by increased plasma ASAT/ALAT, increased plasma creatine kinase, increased hepatic and muscle glycogen, and vacuolated myocytes. IEMbase also records normal alpha-1,4-glucosidase activity in dried blood spot, fibroblast, and muscle assays, which helps separate Danon disease from Pompe disease despite shared glycogen-storage vocabulary. Clinical rows include abnormal EEG, central vision loss, myopia, and vacuolated lymphocytes. No treatment row is recorded.

DisMech phenotype coverage

Danon_disease.yaml is the correct local target. The entry models LAMP2/LAMP-2B deficiency, impaired autophagosome-lysosome fusion, autophagic vacuole accumulation, glycogen-containing vacuoles in cardiac and skeletal muscle, hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, intellectual disability, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, retinal dystrophy / visual impairment, elevated creatine kinase, and elevated hepatic transaminases.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: correct Danon disease mapping with high concordance.

The resources agree on disease identity, LAMP2 causation, X-linked inheritance, autophagic/vacuolar muscle pathology, glycogen accumulation, cardiac and skeletal-muscle involvement, and transaminase/CK abnormalities. IEMbase adds several useful differential and enrichment prompts: normal alpha-1,4-glucosidase assays as an explicit Pompe-differentiating row, abnormal EEG, myopia, central vision loss, and vacuolated lymphocytes. DisMech is stronger on the causal pathograph and cardiac electrophysiology/remodeling details.

Curation actions

  • Keep the mapping to Danon_disease.yaml.
  • If importing IEMbase-derived prompts, verify normal alpha-1,4-glucosidase activity, abnormal EEG, central vision loss, myopia, and vacuolated lymphocytes against source evidence before adding them structurally.
