Abstract

Pompe disease (PD), a lysosomal storage disease, is caused by mutations of the GAA gene, inducing deficiency in the acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). This enzymatic impairment causes glycogen burden in lysosomes and triggers cell malfunctions, especially in cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscle cells and motor neurons. To date, the only approved treatment available for PD is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) consisting of intravenous administration of
