Background and objectivesPompe disease is reportedly less prevalent in Japan than in neighbouring countries, raising a possibility that some patients may be overlooked. Therefore, all muscle biopsy samples received at our institute were screened for Pompe disease to determine the accuracy of the disease prevalence.MethodsThe acid α-glucosidase (GAA) activity was assayed using 10 µm frozen muscle sections from 2408 muscle biopsies received between July 2015 and January 2018. Genetic analysis was performed for samples with decreased activity. The number of myopathologically diagnosed patients was retrospectively assessed.ResultsThe GAA activity was distributed similarly to previous results from dried blood spot screening. GAA activity measured using muscle sections corresponded to that measured using muscle blocks. Of 163 patients with GAA activity <3 nmol/hour/mg protein, 43 (26%) patients had homozygous pseudodeficiency alleles inGAA(p.G576S and p.E689K). In the retrospective analysis, the number of patients diagnosed with Pompe disease via muscle biopsies decreased to zero over time.DiscussionMuscle pathology is an accurate method to diagnose Pompe disease. It is unlikely that a significant number of patients with Pompe disease are overlooked. Pathological variants were rare, and the majority carried a pseudodeficiency allele, which further supports our conclusion.
