A member asked:
What is the role of lysosomes in pompe's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pompe Disease: Lysosomes, which are within cells, breakdown substances using enzymes. In Pompe disease an enzyme called acid alpha-glucosidase either doesn't function correctly or there is too little of it. This causes glycogen to build up in lysosomes & lead to cell damages which leads to tissue & then organ damage.
