[Late onset Pompe disease: an analysis of 19 patients from Mexico].

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Pompe disease (PD) is a rare metabolic myopathy with an ample and heterogeneous clinical spectrum, particularly late onset PD (LOPD), which is characterized by appearance at older age and slower disease progression, leading to diagnostic confirmation difficulty and delay.

Aim

To describe the genotype and clinical characteristics of Mexican patients with LOPD.

Material and methods

Clinical information from 19 Mexican patients with LOPD confirmed with enzyme activity and GAA gene analysis was reviewed. Genetic information of our population was crossed with international genetic databases.

Results

Median age between onset of symptoms and diagnosis was 19 years (range 2-43) and diagnostic confirmation 36 years (range 9-52). Most frequently referred sym
