Cross-reactive immunologic material status affects treatment outcomes in Pompe disease infants.

TL;DR: The effect of CRIM status on outcome appears to be mediated by antibody responses to the exogenous protein, which predicted reduced overall survival and invasive ventilator-free survival and poorer clinical outcomes in infants with Pompe disease treated with rhGAA.

Prevalence of lysosomal storage diseases in Portugal.

TL;DR: The comparison of the prevalence profile of the LSDs presenting a prevalence higher than 0.5/100 000 in the Portuguese, Dutch and Australian populations showed the existence of a higher prevalence of GM2 gangliosidoses (B variant), mucolipidose (II and III), Niemman-Pick type C and metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), and a lower prevalence of Pompe and Fabry.
