Glycogen storage disease type II
Glycogen storage disease type II (also called Pompe disease /?p?mp?/ or acid maltase deficiency) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder which damages muscle and nerve cells throughout the body. It is caused by an accumulation of glycogen in the lysosome due to deficiency of the lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme.
