Current Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
Medical records will be tracked for 5 years to document subtle musculoskeletal signs of Pompe disease.[ Time Frame: 5 years ] This outcome measure will be tested individually by a formal physical therapy assessment, Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), Gross Motor Functional Measure (GMFM), Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded(HFMSE),Modified Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Extend(MHMFS-EXTEND), and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders(CHOP INTEND) to give a combined assessment score. Medical records will be tracked for 5 years to document Pompe-specific clinical symptoms.[ Time Frame: 5 years ] This outcome measure will be tested individually by physical examination, nutritional evaluation and functional assessment to give a combined analysis of Pompe-specific symptoms. Medical records will be tracked for 5 years to document elevation in Pompe-specific biomarkers from blood and urine samples.[ Time Frame: 5 years ] This outcome measure will be tested by comparing lab results to lab-specific ranges. |

Brief Summary | This is an observational study with no study related treatment of interventions. The purpose of the study is to investigate and document disease specific clinical symptoms in newborns and infants with Pompe disease without cardiomyopathy identified in newborn screening(NBS). The study has three goals: 1. To study and record disease specific clinical symptoms in newborns and infants with Pompe disease without cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle) identified through newborn screening (NBS) 2. To devise an approach to characterize early musculoskeletal (muscles and joints) involvement in subjects with the "late-onset" GAA variant identified by NBS 3. To determine criteria to start preventative therapies including enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in patients with clinical features of Pompe disease identified via NBS |

Detailed Description | Late-Onset Pompe Disease(LOPD) is an inherited disorder caused by lack of or defect in the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). GAA enzyme deficiency causes glycogen to build up and damage cells throughout the body, especially in the heart and muscles. In LOPD, subtle and overt disease-specific features may go unrecognized in childhood without vigilant clinical examination and assessments with appropriate functional tests. In our clinical experience, children with the "late-onset" GAA variant may present much earlier in life and adult patients with LOPD consistently report a much earlier symptom onset and a significant diagnostic delay. These patients have shown improvement after initiation of ERT but have motor impairments adversely affecting their quality of life and growth from early childhood. Therefore, earlier diagnosis and initiation of ERT is crucial in these patients. Instituting ERT at an ideal time may prevent/reduce these irreversible musculoskeletal impairments and lead to a better quality of life and less disease burden as these children age. Our team of Pompe disease experts will perform detailed clinical evaluations, physical therapy evaluations, cardiac assessments, speech and swallow evaluations, biochemical tests, sleep questionnaire, and hearing assessments on these patients. These assessments will allow use to capture and describe the earlier clinical phenotype in these patients and provide insights into the early signs and symptoms of LOPD.This study will provide and evidence-based approach to clinical management of newborns with LOPD to primary care physicians and geneticists, leading to improves patient outcomes. The investigators will enroll 40 infants at Duke that has screened for LOPD. This study involves minimal risk to the patient and offers a potential benefit of improved disease management. The initial visit will be as soon as possible after a confirmed LOPD diagnosis and at 6-9 month intervals. The investigators will continue to gather clinical information on patients and monitor clinical status beyond assessment at three time points. The study has three goals: 1. To study and record disease specific clinical symptoms in newborns and infants with Pompe disease without cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle) identified through newborn screening (NBS) 2. To devise an approach to characterize early musculoskeletal (muscles and joints) involvement in subjects with the "late-onset" GAA variant identified by NBS 3.
