Background: Pompe Disease (PD) is a metabolic myopathy caused by variants in the GAA gene, resulting in deficient enzymatic activity. We aimed to characterize the clinical features and related genetic variants in a series of Mexican patients.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of clinical records of patients diagnosed with LOPD, IOPD or pseudodeficiency.
Introduction: Congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption (CGGM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that primarily causes chronic intractable diarrhea. This study aims to describe the clinical history, laboratory profile, diagnostic workflow, and management of the first patient reported with CGGM in Mexico.
Methods: The case involves a Mexican female infant with recurrent admissions to the emergency room since birth due to chronic diarrhea.
Introduction: Pompe disease (PD) is a rare form of metabolic myopathy; the classic infantile presentation is severe, with death occurring before reaching one year of life, and the non-classical form is of slower progression and survival can exceed one year.
Objective: To describe the genotype and characteristics of Mexican patients with infantile-onset PD.
Methods: Seven patients with PD confirmed by enzymatic activity determination and GAA gene molecular analysis were included.
