Abstract excerpt
Glycogen storage disease type II (GSDII) is a recessively inherited disorder caused by defects in lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase. In an attempt to reproduce the range of clinical manifestations of the human illness we have created null alleles at the acid alpha-glucosidase locus (GAA) with several gene targeting strategies. In each knockout strain, enzyme activity was completely abolished and glycogen...
