Mutations in GAA Gene in Tunisian Families with Infantile Onset Pompe Disease: Novel Mutation and Structural Modeling Investigations.

Abstract excerpt

Pompe disease, a rare, autosomal, recessive, inherited, lysosomal storage disorder, is caused by mutations in the acid α-glucosidase (GAA) gene leading to a deficiency of the lysosomal GAA enzyme. Some GAA mutations eliminate all enzymatic activities, causing severe infantile Pompe disease; others allow residual GAA activity and lead to middle adulthood forms. Here, we report a cohort of 12 patients, belonging to...
