ABSTRACT
Background: Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the GAA gene that lead to a deficiency of the lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase activity, which results in the accumulation of glycogen in muscle fibers.Clinical cases: This paper describes the clinical, biochemical and molecular findings in five siblings with late-onset Pompe disease with marked phenotypic phenotype intrafamilial variability; however, in them the clinical picture was slowly progressive and all the symptoms and signs belonged to the musculoskeletal system exclusively, but with a constant phenotype that merely affected the skeletal muscle system.
Conclusion: This report, together to previous reports, confirm that the c.-32-12T›G mutation exerts an attenuating effect about c.1799G›A mutation and the combined effect of both produces a musculoskeletal phenotype.
