Abstract excerpt
Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease II, OMIM # 232300), is a hereditary lysosomal disorder. It is characterized by deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme (acid maltase, GAA, OMIM *606800, EC 3.1.26.2), secondary to mutations in the GAA gene (HGNC:4065) on chromosome 17q25.2-q25.3.
