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...
متن کاملCross-reactive immunologic material status affects treatment outcomes in Pompe disease infants.
Deficiency of acid alpha glucosidase (GAA) causes Pompe disease, which is usually fatal if onset occurs in infancy. Patients synthesize a non-functional form of GAA or are unable to form native enzyme. Enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant human GAA (rhGAA) prolongs survival in infantile Pompe patients but may be less effective in cross-reactive immunologic material (CRIM)-negative patien...
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...
متن کاملAntibody formation to enzyme therapy in classic infantile Pompe disease: implications of patient age
Introduction Enzyme-replacement therapy (ERT) with alglucosidase alfa has improved the lifespan of patients with classic infantile Pompe disease, although ERT is not effective in a subset of patients who mount an immune response to the exogenous enzyme. We studied the development of antibodies in response to ERT and its effect on clinical outcomes in 11 patients with classic infantile Pompe dis...
