Clinical definition (Orphanet)
A rare form of glycogen storage disease due to acid maltase deficiency characterized by excessive accumulation of glycogen in lysosomes most notably in skeletal muscle, leading to slowly muscle weakness with walking disability and reduced respiratory function. The late-onset form includes all cases in which hypertrophic did not manifest or was not diagnosed at or under the age of 1 year, as well as all cases with symptom onset above the age of 1 year.
How rare: 1-9 / 100 000 — about one to nine people per hundred thousand.

Where this condition sits on an open-data research pipeline — not how close a treatment is, and not medical advice. Empty stages often mean “not in these databases under this Mondo ID,” not “impossible.”

Biology
Genes and phenotypes
Gene–disease validity from GenCC, plus phenotypes and animal models joined from Monarch Initiative via Mondo ID — not a clinical diagnosis aid.
Do we know what causes it?
Not yet — the cause hasn't been pinned down in GenCC.
No strong gene–disease assertion joined for this Orphanet entity.
Phenotypes (Monarch / HPO)
Not enriched in this build — Monarch phenotype joins were not run for this record.

Observational and natural-history studies
9 observational studies match this condition. These do not test a treatment and are not counted in the interventional-trial headline, but they are genuine research: natural-history work often defines the endpoints needed for a future rare-disease trial, and families may be able to enroll.

Where to find support
We do not yet link condition-specific patient organisations. These umbrella groups support undiagnosed and ultra-rare families:
India — NPRD
Last verified 2026-07-26Likely covered — the policy lists Pompe disease as a category (Group 3), and this condition is a form of it. Confirm eligibility with a Centre of Excellence.
Group 3 — high-cost / lifelong therapy with careful selection
Up to ₹50 lakh per patient
Financial support at notified Centres of Excellence is the figure commonly cited in recent MoHFW/PIB statements. Many Group 3 patients also use the MoHFW voluntary-contribution / crowdfunding portal.
Eligibility and patient selection rules change. Verify with a CoE; the crowdfunding portal is a separate mechanism from CoE funding. Verify

Hand-curated for this project. ORPHAcode mappings are best-effort and may be incomplete or imprecise for umbrella categories. Parent (Mondo) matches mean the policy lists a broader category — confirm eligibility with a Centre of Excellence. Financial entitlements summarised from public policy statements and may change.
