The effect of a single base pair deletion (ΔT525) and a C1634T missense mutation (pro545leu) on the expression of lysosomal α-glucosidase in patients with glycogen storage disease type II

Abstract excerpt

Glycogen storage disease type II (GSDII, Pompe's disease) is caused by an autosomal recessive inheritance of lysosomal alpha-glucosidase deficiency. By sequence analysis we have identified the mutations in the lysosomal alpha-glucosidase gene (GAA) of two unrelated patients, who have one and two copies, respectively, of the same missense mutation. The milder affected adult patient was found to be homozygous for a...
