Clinical Info

Diagnosing Pompe disease, when used in conjunction with acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme activity assays and molecular genetic analysis of the GAA gene

Monitoring Pompe patients on enzyme replacement therapy
May support the diagnosis and monitoring of other glycogen storage disorders; however, glucotetrasaccharide (Glc4) excretion appears to be less consistently elevated in glycogen storage disorders other than Pompe disease
                   This test is not useful for carrier screening
