Common Name

Human

Remarks

Adult form; reduced size (approximately 3 kb) and amount of GAA mRNA; low acid alpha-1,4 glucosidase activity (2%); donor subject is heterozygous with one allele carrying a T>G transversion at position -13 of the acceptor site of intron 1 of the GAA gene (IVS1-13T>G); the resulting alternatively spliced transcript has an in frame deletion of exon 2 which contains the initiation codon

Allelic Variant 1

606800.0006; GLYCOGEN STORAGE DISEASE TYPE II, ADULT FORM

Identified Mutation

IVS1AS, T>G, -13; Huie et al. [Hum. Molec. Genet. 3: 2231-2236 (1994)] identified a T-to-G transversion at position -13 of the acceptor site of intron 1 of the GAA gene, resulting in alternatively spliced transcripts with deletion of the first coding exon, exon 2, in patients with the adult onset form of Pompe disease (232300). This mutation was found in 28 of 41 adult onset cases examined. Kroos et al. [J. Med. Genet. 32: 836-837 (1995)] showed this mutation in 38 of 50 heterozygous persons with the adult form of the disease and in 4 of 13 heterozygous patients with juvenile form, but did not find the mutation in children with the infantile form of Pompe disease.
