Introduction This 12-month audit (conducted between 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012) was designed following a retrospective audit in a specialist neuromuscular centre (UK) using DBS testing to identify late-onset Pompe disease. The objective was to screen all patients with an unknown diagnosis presenting with a limb girdle pattern of muscle weakness +/respiratory symptoms +/scoliosis +/rigid spine ...
BACKGROUND Pompe disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by muscle weakness and wasting. The majority of adult patients have slowly progressive disease, which gradually impairs mobility and respiratory function and may lead to wheelchair and ventilator dependency. It is as yet unknown to what extent the disease reduces the life span of these patients. Our objective was to det...
Pompe disease is a rare autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by acid α-glucosidase enzyme (GAA) deficiency and divided into two distinct variants, infantile- and late-onset. The late-onset variant is characterized by a spectrum of phenotypic variation that may range from asymptomatic, to reduced muscle strength and/or diaphragmatic paralysis. Since muscle strength loss is character...
BACKGROUND Pompe disease is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by α-glycosidase deficiency, which leads to lysosomal glycogen accumulation in many different tissues. The infantile form is the most severe with a rapidly fatal outcome, while the late onset form has a greater phenotypic variability, characterized by skeletal muscle dysfunction and early respiratory involvement. Bone min...
BACKGROUND Elevated plasma cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels in patients with neuromuscular disorders may erroneously lead to the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction or myocardial injury. METHODS AND RESULTS In 122 patients with Pompe disease, the relationship between cTnT, cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase (CK), CK-myocardial band levels, and skeletal muscle damage was assessed. ECG an...
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant human alglucosidase alfa (rhGAA) in Pompe disease is moderately effective and a life-long therapy is warranted. Clinical investigations of temporary ERT interruption are lacking, but might be of clinical signifi cance (i.e. due to patient’s wish, adherence issues, holidays, or problems with drug supply). In Switzerland, ERT for Pompe disease was...
To enhance the delivery of rhGAA (recombinant GAA, where GAA stands for acid alpha-glucosidase) to the affected muscles in Pompe disease, the carbohydrate moieties on the enzyme were remodelled to exhibit a high affinity ligand for the CI-MPR (cation-independent M6P receptor, where M6P stands for mannose 6-phosphate). This was achieved by chemically conjugating on to rhGAA, a synthetic oligosac...
Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II, glycogenosis II, or acid maltase defi ciency) is a lysosomal storage disorder in which an alpha-glucosidase (GAA) defi ciency causes intralysosomal accumulation of glycogen in all tissues, notably skeletal muscles. Pompe disease is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait and is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the GAA, located on chro...
