Abstract excerpt
Clinical and morphological features have been studied in 11 late onset Acid Maltase Deficient (AMD) patients. All patients have been diagnosed on biochemical evidence of acid maltase deficiency on muscle biopsy. Molecular studies showed a heterozygous mutation (IVS1-13 T > G transversion resulting in aberrant splicing) in the GSDII gene, which is the most common mutation in late onset AMD patients. Morphological...
