Glycogen Stored in Skeletal but Not in Cardiac Muscle in Acid α-Glucosidase Mutant (Pompe) Mice Is Highly Resistant to Transgene-Encoded Human Enzyme
2002-10-28
Abstract excerpt
Although many lysosomal disorders are corrected by a small amount of the missing enzyme, it has been generally accepted that 20–30% of normal acid α-glucosidase (GAA) activity, provided by gene or enzyme replacement therapy, would be required to reverse the myopathy and cardiomyopathy in Pompe disease. We have addressed the issue of reversibility of the disease in the Gaa –/– mouse model. We have made transgenic l...
