Identifying regulatory muscle processes in infantile and adult Pompe patients using a multi-omic and morphological approach

Studying muscle changes across different ages of Pompe disease reveals distinct disease processes, pointing toward better targeted treatments.

To better understand the regulation of age-dependent pathways in Pompe disease, we performed a multi-modal approach. Our findings reveal that combining a multi-omic approach, including morphological observations, enables the detection of a greater number of deregulated muscle processes, indicating both similar and distinct muscle processes in IOPD and LOPD.
