Enzyme Assay Diagnostic Service:

The diagnosis of Pompe disease is confirmed by the assay of the deficient enzyme alpha-glucosidase.

The enzyme activity can be tested in fibroblasts or leukocytes.

Genotyping Service

Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive disorder. DNA analysis can be a valuable tool for investigating family pedigrees.
