POMPE

Pompe disease is an inherited disorder caused by the buildup of glycogen in the body's cells. Mutations in the GAA gene are responsible for Pompe disease.

POMPE

Development of a kit for urine collection on filter paper as an alternative for Pompe disease screening and monitoring by LC-HRMS

2023-08-17

This study investigates a newly developed filter paper based-urine collection kit to facilitate specimen shipment, and liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analysis to determine Glc4 and creatinine in dried urine on filter paper.

POMPE

Genotype, phenotype and treatment outcomes of 17 Malaysian patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease and the identification of 3 novel GAA variants

2023-08-04

This is the first study to analyze the genotype and phenotype of Malaysian infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) patients, and has identified the c.1935C > A p.(D645E) as the most common mutation.

POMPE

Newborn screening for Pompe disease in Italy: Long-term results and future challenges

2022-10-22

This study presents the results from 7 years of newborn screening (NBS) for Pompe disease (PD) and the management of infantile-onset (IOPD) and late-onset (LOPD) patients.

POMPE

Development of a clinically validated in vitro functional assay to assess the pathogenicity of novel GAA variants in patients with Pompe disease

2022-09-30

There is an unmet need for validated functional studies to aid in classification of GAA variants.

GAUCHER

Real-world patient data on immunity and COVID-19 status of patients with MPS, Gaucher, and Pompe diseases from Turkey

2022-08-29

It should be borne in mind that cardiac and pulmonary involvement, as well as immune dysfunction in LSDs, may cause an increased need for intensive care because of secondary bacterial infections.

POMPE

Case Report: Identification of Compound Heterozygous Mutations in a Patient With Late-Onset Glycogen Storage Disease Type II (Pompe Disease)

2022-03-21

Mutational analysis of GAA and muscle biopsy are crucial in the diagnosis of Pompe disease.

POMPE

Non-specificity of symptoms in infantile-onset Pompe disease may delay the diagnosis and institution of treatment

2022-03-09

Careful evaluation of common pediatric presentations, which may be an indication of serious underlying pathologies, is of great importance.

POMPE

Mild disease course of SARS-CoV-2 infections and mild side effects of vaccination in Pompe disease: A cohort description

2022-03-04

In the light of this research, it is aimed to gather information about the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection and side effects of COVID-19 vaccinations in patients with Glycogen Storage Disease type II (GSDII).

POMPE

Early clinical phenotype of late onset Pompe disease: Lessons learned from newborn screening

2022-03-01

Careful physical therapy evaluation is necessary to monitor for subtle musculoskeletal signs that may reflect early muscle involvement in late onset Pompe disease patients.

POMPE

Genetic analysis of 76 Spanish Pompe disease patients: Identification of 12 novel pathogenic GAA variants and functional characterization of splicing variants

2022-01-15

In this study, 76 Spanish patients are reported with either infantile or late onset form of Pompe disease. Functional characterization of some splice mutations showed deleterious mechanisms on the processing of mRNA.

POMPE

Effect of alglucosidase alfa dosage on survival and walking ability in patients with classic infantile Pompe disease

2022-01-06

Patients with classic infantile Pompe disease treated with the high enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) dosage of 40 mg/kg per week had significantly improved survival when compared with patients treated with the standard recommended ERT dosage of 20 mg/kg every other week.

POMPE

Outcome of Later-Onset Pompe Disease Identified Through Newborn Screening

2022-01-04

The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of patients with later-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) identified through newborn screening (NBS).
