Abstract excerpt
Acid maltase, or acid alpha glucosidase (GAA), is a lysosomal enzyme that hydrolyzes glycogen to glucose and is deficient in glycogen storage disease type II. We have previously isolated a partial cDNA (1.9 kb) for human GAA and detected abnormalities of mRNA in two infantile-onset and one adult-onset patient. We have now extended this study and examined mRNA and DNA from cell lines of eight additional infantile...
