s S62 strength in the arms (pulls self to stand: 72% vs 47%) and legs (bears weight on legs: 79% vs 66%). Results were similar when patients from Taiwan, who may have been identifi ed by newborn screening and not clinical diagnosis, were excluded. Earlier initiation of ERT in classic IOPD patients appears to improve the chances of survival and leads to better retention of muscle strength and improvement of symptoms in these young patients affected most severely by Pompe disease.

A New Mutation Causing Severe Infantile-Onset Pompe Disease Responsive to Enzyme Replacement Therapy
Pompe disease (PD), also known as “glycogen storage disease type II (OMIM # 232300)” is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive glycogen accumulation in cellular lysosomes. It ultimately leads to cellular damage. Infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) is the most severe type of this disease and is characterized by severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and generalized hypoton...
متن کاملCognitive outcome of patients with classic infantile Pompe disease receiving enzyme therapy.
OBJECTIVE Classic infantile Pompe disease affects many tissues, including the brain. Untreated infants die within their first year. Although enzyme-replacement therapy (ERT) significantly increases survival, its potential limitation is that the drug cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. We therefore investigated long-term cognitive development in patients treated with ERT. METHODS We prospect...

Pompe disease or type II glycogen storage disease is a rare autosomal hereditary disease. The prevalence of the disease is about 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 300,000 population. It usually occurs as a result of glycogen accretion following acid maltase deficiency. The current treatment is enzyme replacement therapy, which may slow down the disease progression. Sometimes, the clinical presentation can be...
متن کاملA higher dose of enzyme therapy in patients with classic infantile Pompe disease seems to improve ventilator-free survival and motor function
Introduction Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with Myozyme has significantly improved the prospect for patients with classic infantile Pompe disease. Yet, about 50% of patients still do not survive ventilator-free beyond 2.5 years. In the present study we compared the safety and efficacy of treatment with 40 mg/kg/week to that of 20 mg/kg/ every other week (eow) in 10 infantile patients to dete...

BACKGROUND Infantile Pompe disease is a rare metabolic disease. Patients generally do not survive the first year of life. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has proven to have substantial effects on survival in infantile Pompe disease. However, the costs of therapy are very high. In this paper, we assess the cost-effectiveness of enzyme replacement therapy in infantile Pompe disease. METHODS A ...
