Overview
Classification
Pompe disease has historically been divided into three forms defined by age of onset and progression of symptoms (see below). More recently there has been a trend to divide the disease into two groups: infantile onset (involving the massive enlargement of the heart) and late onset (no heart enlargement):
- Infantile, or early onset, is noticed shortly after birth.
- Juvenile onset.
- Adult onset.
