Brief summary
Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). In addition to skeletal and respiratory muscle involvement, previous studies suggest that patients with LOPD may have an increased frequency of cerebrovascular and aortic vascular abnormalities, but available evidence is limited. This multicenter, non-interventional study aims to determine whether pathogenic GAA mutations are associated with severe cerebrovascular or aortic vascular malformations. The study will include patients with confirmed LOPD and patients with intracranial aneurysms or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clinical, laboratory, genetic, and imaging data will be collected to evaluate the frequency and characteristics of vascular abnormalities in LOPD and to identify previously undiagnosed cases presenting with vascular disease.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prevalence of severe cerebrovascular and aortic vascular malformations in late-onset Pompe disease | Baseline (at study assessment) | To determine the prevalence and characteristics of severe cerebrovascular and aortic vascular abnormalities in participants with genetically confirmed late-onset Pompe disease and to evaluate the association between pathogenic GAA mutations and vascular involvement. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency of reduced GAA enzyme activity in participants with intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage | Baseline | To determine the frequency of reduced acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) activity among participants with intracranial aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage. |
| Frequency and distribution of vascular malformations in late-onset Pompe disease | Baseline | Frequency and anatomical distribution of cerebrovascular and aortic vascular malformations identified in participants with genetically confirmed late-onset Pompe disease. |
| Severity of vascular lesions | Baseline | To describe the type, location, and severity of cerebrovascular and aortic vascular abnormalities and their association with demographic, clinical, laboratory, and genetic characteristics. |
