Brief Summary:
In this study, the investigators will collect clinical information as well as complete the following procedures to assess central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) involvement: neuroimaging with MRI, MRS and DTI; needle electromyography with electromyography, quantitative muscle ultrasound, nerve conduction study, small fiber neuropathy screening list (SFNSL) and skin biopsy depending on SFNSL score; cognition and developmental assessments including an audiological exam; physical therapy and speech evaluation. These assessments will be collected once a year for up to six years.

Patients with Pompe disease



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  2. 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. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  3. To characterize the motor speech function in children with IPD and LOPD as reported auditory-perceptual and instrumental methods. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  4. To investigate the relationship between neuroimaging findings and developmental outcomes, over time, for children with Pompe disease, as reported by . [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  5. To investigate the extent of muscle pathology, especially myopathy and neuropathy in the distal lower extremities, using screening questionnaires. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  6. To investigate the extent of muscle pathology, especially myopathy and neuropathy in the distal lower extremities, using quantitative muscle ultrasound. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  7. To investigate the extent of muscle pathology, especially myopathy and neuropathy in the distal lower extremities, using electrodiagnostic testing. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
