Pompe disease is a rare inherited neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle weakness in patients who inherit a defective gene from their parents.
Pompe disease has a widely variable age of symptom onset and disease progression. It is best managed by a multi- disciplinary team led by a physician with experience treating this disorder.
The signs and symptoms of Pompe disease vary widely and may first emerge at any age from infancy to late adulthood. As a result, the disease can affect people differently.
As a partner in the effort to manage the challenges of living with Pompe disease, Genzyme offers a wide range of services to physicians and patients, ranging from brochures to insurance information.
Find out about the Pompe Registry, a program that tracks information about patients’ symptoms and experiences in order to improve understanding of Pompe disease.
