Pompe disease (also known as acid-maltase disease and glycogen storage disease II) is a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive weakness to the heart and skeletal muscles. It is caused by mutations in a gene that makes an enzyme called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), which the body uses to break down glycogen, a stored form of sugar used for energy. 7, record 1, English, - Pompe%20disease

La enfermedad de Pompe o glucogenosis tipo II es un trastorno autosómico recesivo, debido a la deficiencia de la enzima lisosomal α-glucosidasa ácida encargada de degradar glucógeno a glucosa. La forma de inicio en el adulto es rara y se caracteriza fundamentalmente por acumulación de glucógeno en tejido muscular estriado, cardiaco y liso. Causa debilidad muscular de predominio proximal, por lo que se puede confundir con una miopatía inflamatoria. 1, record 1, Spanish, - enfermedad%20de%20Pompe

Le déficit en enzyme branchante (amylo-1,4-> 1,6-transglycosylase) ou glycogénose de type IV (maladie d'Andersen) a un spectre très étendu de phénotypes cliniques. L'enzyme est codée par un gène porté par le chromosome 3. Le déficit enzymatique, transmis selon un mode autosomique récessif, peut être cliniquement silencieux ou s'exprimer par une atteinte hépatique, cardiaque, musculaire, squellettique ou cérébrale. [...] Le diagnostic repose sur la mise en évidence de l'accumulation glycogénique [...] dans les tissus atteints. 1, record 4, French, - maladie%20d%27Andersen
