Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pompe disease (PD), caused by a deficiency in acid α-glucosidase (GAA), is a lysosomal storage disorder. Existing Gaa knockout and point mutation mouse models have substantially advanced mechanistic understanding, but most are homozygous for single mutations and do not faithfully model the compound‑heterozygous GAA genotypes common in patients. A more clinically relevant in vivo model is still needed...
