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.

FABRY

The benefits and challenges of family genetic testing in rare genetic diseases—lessons from Fabry disease

2021-04-09

In this review, the problems faced in the family genetic screening of patients affected with rare genetic diseases are highlighted by an international group of experts of Fabry disease. These problems include related costs, low awareness of its importance, cultural and societal issues, educational levels of the population, national geography and infrastructure, and a lack of medical geneticists.

Multisystem late onset Pompe disease (LOPD): An update on clinical aspects

2019-07-01

Although Pompe disease was once thought to be predominantly a muscle disorder, it is now obvious that there is involvement of multiple other organs. Great efforts have been made for clarifying the clinical aspects of Pompe disease, raising awareness of the challenges that LOPD patients face, and improving their quality of life.
