    McArdle Disease is caused by a defect in the phosphorylase enzyme which affects liver enzymes but not brain growth. Patients have high levels of glycogen stored normally in their muscles as well as symptoms like muscle cramps, burgundy colored urine, and low lactic acid during exercise. There is no treatment available, so patients must avoid strenuous exercise and anesthesia, and maintain a healthy diet.
