International Pompe Day falls in April, and aims to raise awareness of Pompe Disease. Pompe disease is a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive weakness to the heart and muscles, with mutations in the gene that makes an enzyme called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), which the body uses to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar used for energy). Monique Nel, Medical Advisor for Rare Diseases at Sanofi, chats to Leigh-Anne Williams about this disease, the signs to look out for as well as where individuals can get more information and support too.
