Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
17213836 demonstrated a significant increase of GAA activity (1.3-7.5-fold) after imino sugar treatment in fibroblasts from patients carrying the mutations L552P (three patients) and G549R (one patient)
18285536 In Glycogen Storage Disease Type II suggesting a loss alpha-Glucosidase of function rather than abnormal protein processing and expression
15313146 Observational study of genetic testing. (HuGE Navigator)
17915575 Despite a common genotype, patients present with a wide variability in residual enzyme activity, age of appearance of clinical signs and rate of disease progression suggesting other factors in Pompe disease.
17592248 The role of autophagy in Pompe disease was examined by analyzing single muscle fibers.
17616415 Mutations in glucosidase alpha is asspciated with glycogen storage disease type II
12065598 novel target of the Notch-1/Hes-1 signaling pathway
15668445 2 novel mutations (Ala237Val and Gly293Arg) were foundin the acid alpha-glucosidase gene in a Pompe disease patient with vascular involvement.
15993875 Acid-alpha-glucosidase activity and specific activity, and lysosomal glycogen content are useful predictors of age of onset in Pompe disease
17092519 Two new missense mutations (p.266Pro>Ser and p.439Met>Lys) were new missense mutations causing late onset GSD II.
