Mouse Model of Pompe Disease for Therapy Discovery
This technology includes a mouse model of Pompe disease, created by targeted inactivation of the acid alpha-glucosidase gene, to test novel therapies. Pompe disease is a severe muscle disorder that affects people at any age. It is a rare genetic disease caused by a deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase. The enzyme degrades glycogen...

Modulating Autophagy as a Treatment for Lysosomal Storage Diseases
Researchers at NIAMS have developed a technology for treatment of lysosomal storage diseases by inhibition of autophagy. Pompe disease is an example of a genetic lysosomal storage disease caused by a reduction or absence of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Patients with Pompe disease have a lysosomal buildup of glycogen in cardiac and skeletal muscle...
