GAA and lysosomal storage disease: Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II, OMIM#232300) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), a lysosomal enzyme that is responsible for the cleavage of the α-1,4- and α-1,6-glycosidic bonds of glycogen to glucose (1, 2).
