In Utero Enzyme-Replacement Therapy for Infantile-Onset Pompe’s Disease
SUMMARY Patients with early-onset lysosomal storage diseases are ideal candidates for prenatal therapy because organ damage starts in utero. We report the safety and efficacy results of in utero enzyme-replacement therapy (ERT) in a fetus with CRIM ...
