Description

The GAA gene encodes the lysosomal enzyme alpha-1,4-glucosidase, which is essential for the degradation of glycogen to glucose. 

Mutations in the GAA gene result in glycogen storage disease II (Pompe disease); which is an autosomal recessive disorder with widely varying symptoms. Over 200 mutations in the GAA gene have been uncovered in people with Pompe disease.
