Pompe Disease Pipeline

Nov 01, 2024

Imagine a disease that stealthily incapacitates the heart, liver, and skeletal muscles—slowly breaking them down due to the absence of a crucial protein. That's the story of Pompe disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type II (GSDII). Caused by a gene mutation that blocks the body’s ability to break down ...

Pompe disease is a rare genetic disorder that presents a spectrum of severity, with varying rates of progression and ages of onset. Symptoms can appear anywhere from infancy to late adulthood, with earlier onset generally associated with more rapid progression and increased severity. At all ages, the disease is mar...

The treatment landscape for Pompe disease is undergoing a remarkable shift, especially within emerging markets, as increased awareness, regulatory advancements, and broader access to cutting-edge therapies begin to reshape the future for patients. Pompe disease is a rare and inherited genetic disorder caused by a d...

An orphan disease is any disease that affects only a small percentage of the population. As many as 7,000 rare diseases affect human life. The total number of Americans living with a rare disease is estimated at between 25 and 30 million. In the EU, rare disease patients comprise 6% to 8 % of the population. One...

Pompe disease is an inherited disorder caused by the buildup of a complex sugar called glycogen in the body's cells. The accumulation of glycogen in certain organs and tissues, especially muscles, impairs their ability to function normally. There are three types of Pompe disease, which differ in severity and the ag...

Pompe disease, an inherited rare disease, is often fatal and incapacitates the heart and skeletal muscles. The absence of an essential protein due to the mutation in a gene encoding GAA, leads to a complex buildup of sugar, hence, damaging the heart, liver, and other organs. The mutated gene hampers the lysosomal-m...

Pompe disease is an inherited rare disease, often fatal, with the potential to damage the heart, liver, and skeletal muscles. Absence of an essential protein, Due to the mutation in a gene encoding GAA, there is an absence of a critical protein leading to a complex buildup of sugar, hence, damaging the heart, liver...
