Abstract
Pompe's disease (glycogen storage disease type II) is a lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency in alpha 1, 4 glucosidase. Prognosis is poor because of heart involvement. Treatment in adult form relies on supportive therapy. Enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant human alpha glucosidase remains a hope for patients.Entities:
