Purpose To investigate the correlation of the urinary glucose tetrasaccharide, Glcα1-6Glcα1-
4Glcα1-4Glc,(Glc 4) with skeletal muscle glycogen content and the long-term clinical
response to enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant human acid alpha glucosidase
in infantile Pompe disease. Methods Eighteen patients,≤ 6 months old, were enrolled in a
clinical trial of enzyme replacement therapy for up to 142 weeks. Urinary Glc 4, skeletal
muscle glycogen, and other clinical and laboratory assessments were made at baseline and …
