A nonsense mutation in the acid α-glucosidase gene causes Pompe disease in Finnish and Swedish Lapphunds.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Pompe disease is a recessively inherited and often fatal disorder caused by the deficiency of acid α-glucosidase, an enzyme encoded by the GAA gene and needed to break down glycogen in lysosomes.

A Newborn Screening, Presymptomatically Identified Infant With Late-Onset Pompe Disease: Case Report, Parental Experience, and Recommendations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Neonatal Screening, 2020
Pompe disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) enzyme deficiency, resulting in muscle and neuron intralysosomal glycogen storage.

Correction of oxidative stress enhances enzyme replacement therapy in Pompe disease

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2021
Pompe disease is a metabolic myopathy due to acid alpha‐glucosidase deficiency. In addition to glycogen storage, secondary dysregulation of cellular functions, such as autophagy and oxidative stress, contributes to the disease pathophysiology.

Pompe disease gene therapy [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2011
Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive metabolic myopathy caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase and results in cellular lysosomal and cytoplasmic glycogen accumulation. A wide spectrum of disease exists from hypotonia and severe cardiac hypertrophy in the first few months of life due to severe mutations to a milder ...

Cracking the Code: Genotype–Phenotype Correlation Models in Sarcoglycanopathies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Sarcoglycanopathies are among the most severe limb‐girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD), though milder presentations have been described. These diseases are primarily caused by missense variants, but the limited predictability of their effect on protein maturation, complex formation, and transport has hindered reliable genotype ...

Generation of two heterozygous GAA mutation-carrying human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (XACHi005-A, XACHi006-A) from parents of an infant with Pompe disease

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2022
Pompe disease results from GAA mutations that leads to lysosomal glycogen accumulation and cardiac and skeletal muscle pathology. We have previously generated an infantile-onset Pompe disease patient-derived human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs ...

Common Signatures of Altered Gene Regulation and Invasiveness of Different Breast Cancer Cell Lines after Matrix Interface Crossing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Interface transmigration reprograms triple‐negative breast cancer cells, triggering a shared switch toward more aggressive and invasive phenotypes. Using a collagen I interface model, this study identifies shared transcriptional changes involving proliferation, chromatin remodeling, and DNA repair pathways.

Chemical engineering as an essential element of industrial biotechnology in Mexico: New aims in research and university education

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract On the centennial of higher education in Chemical Engineering in Mexico, it is pertinent to revisit the key stages that have contributed to its consolidation as a vital discipline for the nation's scientific and technological advancement. Although the initial mission of chemical engineering education was primarily oriented toward the training ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Highlighting intrafamilial clinical heterogeneity in late-onset Pompe disease

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2014
Background/aims: Pompe disease is a rare metabolic disorder caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glycosidase (GAA). The late onset form of the disease is characterized by muscle weakness and respiratory involvement of variable severity.
