Familial Pompe Disease [PDF]

Medical Archives, 2015
Pompe disorder is a rare glycogen storage disorder that is due to a deficiency of the lysosomal alpha glycosidase enzyme. The heart, skeletal muscle, liver and nervous system can be affected from the lysosomal glycogen accumulation. Symptoms such as muscle weakness, hypotony, myopathy and respiratory failure develop.

Myostatin and insulin-like growth factor I: potential therapeutic biomarkers for pompe disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
OBJECTIVE: Myostatin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are serum markers for muscle growth and regeneration. However, their value in the clinical monitoring of Pompe disease - a muscle glycogen storage disease - is not known.

Hypothyroidism in late-onset Pompe disease

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2016
Purpose: In Pompe disease, a deficiency of acid α-glucosidase enzyme activity leads to pathologic accumulation of glycogen in tissues. Phenotype heterogeneity in Pompe includes an infantile form and late-onset forms (juvenile- and adult-onset forms ...

From the hypertransaminasemia symptoms to the recognition of late-onset Pompe disease in a 12-year-old boy

Pediatria Polska, 2021
The paper presents the case of a 12-year-old boy hospitalised due to persistent hypertransaminasemia of unknown origin, in whom rare metabolic disease – Pompe disease, was finally diagnosed.

Modeling CNS Involvement in Pompe Disease Using Neural Stem Cells Generated from Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Cells, 2020
Pompe disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) gene. Acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency leads to abnormal glycogen accumulation in patient cells.

Three-dimensional tissue-engineered human skeletal muscle model of Pompe disease

Communications Biology, 2021
Wang et al. describe the development of a 3D in vitro model of human skeletal muscle that recapitulates the pathophysiology of Pompe disease. They further define a Pompe disease-specific transcriptional signature, confirm its presence in the Pompe ...

Disease modeling and lentiviral gene transfer in patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells from late-onset Pompe disease patient

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2015
Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disease caused by deficiency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA). Glycogen accumulation is seen in the affected organ such as skeletal muscle, heart, and liver.

Pompe disease

East European Journal of Neurology, 2017
. Pompe disease is a rare, progressive disease, the basis of which is the pathogenesis of excessive accumulation of glycogen by lysosomes due to mutation of the GAA gene and loss of activity of the enzyme acidic α-glucosidase. Preferred accumulation of glycogen is noted in cross-linked muscles, but can vary in degrees in other organs and tissues ...

Public support for neonatal screening for Pompe disease, a broad-phenotype condition

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2012
Background Neonatal screening for Pompe disease has been introduced in Taiwan and a few U.S. states, while other jurisdictions including some European countries are piloting or considering this screening. First-tier screening flags both classic infantile
