Cori Disease, also called glycogen storage disease type III (GSD-III) or Forbes disease, is an autosomal recessive glycogen storage disease caused by a deficiency of an enzyme called glycogen debranching enzyme, also called alpha-1,6-glucosidase.

The deficiency of debranching enzyme leads to the accumulation of branched glycogen chains (limit dextrins) in the lysosomes of cells of various organs. Symptoms include hepatomegaly and hypoglycemia.
