Abstract excerpt
Pompe disease (PD) is caused by mutations in the GAA gene, which encodes the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase, causing lysosomal glycogen accumulation, mainly in muscular tissue.

Uncovering how these mechanisms are interconnected could be an approximation to address long-lasting concerns,...
