About this trial
The purpose of this study is to better understand the long-term health effects of Pompe disease and to determine if there are any abnormal changes in the brain and peripheral nerves. Additionally, the investigators will study the relationship between the abnormal changes in brain, nervous system findings, and developmental outcomes.
The investigators will collect clinical information from clinic visits as well as assessments such as neuroimaging (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)), cognition, academic skills, speech and language function, physical therapy and quantitative muscle ultrasound. Subjects will be in this study for at least 3 years and up to 6 years.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To determine the involvement of central nervous system (CNS) pathology in long-term survivors of IPD and early diagnosed LOPD patients being treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) as measure by neuroimaging.
Secondary outcomes
To further investigate developmental outcomes, such as cognition, language, academic skills and fine motor skills, of children with Pompe disease as reported by patient performance report measures.
To further investigate developmental outcomes, such as cognition, language, academic skills and fine motor skills, of children with Pompe disease as reported by parent report measures.
To characterize the motor speech function in children with IPD and LOPD as reported auditory-perceptual and instrumental methods.
To investigate the relationship between neuroimaging findings and developmental outcomes, over time, for children with Pompe disease, as reported by .
