Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency (GBED)

Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency (GBED) is a genetic disease seen in Quarter Horses and related breeds and will result in death of the foal. The foals are unable to store sugar molecules because the disorder prevents the production of an enzyme that is necessary for glycogen storage. This disease is fatal as the brain, heart, skeletal muscles and other organs are unable to function.
