Altered electrical properties in skeletal muscle of mice with glycogen storage disease type II
Electrical impedance methods, including electrical impedance myography, are increasingly being used as biomarkers of muscle health since they measure passive electrical properties of muscle that alter in disease.

Comparison of recent pivotal recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of late-onset Pompe disease using diagnostic nodes-the Pompe disease burden scale. [PDF]
Pompe disease is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder characterised by limb-girdle myopathy and respiratory weakness in the late-onset form (LOPD). Various mutations in the acid alpha-glucosidase gene lead to toxic lysosomal and extra-lysosomal glycogen ...

Newborn Screening for Pompe Disease [PDF]
Glycogen storage disease type II (also known as Pompe disease (PD)) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in α-glucosidase (AαGlu), resulting in lysosomal glycogen accumulation in skeletal and heart muscles. Accumulation and tissue damage rates depend on residual enzyme activity.

Infantile Pompe disease with intrauterine onset: a case report and literature review
Background Pompe disease is a rare autosomal recessive disease. Acid alpha−glucosidase (GAA) deficiency leads to glycogen storage in lysosomes, causing skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle lesions.

Pompe disease: Clinical perspectives [PDF]
Pompe disease (acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency, OMIM 232300) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder due to autosomal recessive mutations in the GAA gene. It has also been called acid maltase deficiency and glycogen storage disease type II.
