Question 5

do you know if adult pompe disease is caused by a sudden mutation or a long build up of glycogen?

Accepted Answer

Long build up: I'm not a geneticist; and, there are good references on this subject easily available on the net.  However, a quick answer is long build-up.  The disease is viewed as constitutional (born-in) and not a later development of a "sudden mutation".   If you are really interested, do your homework on the subject by looking at NIH and other sites.
