Official Title: A Long-term Study to Evaluate Growth and Development Outcomes in Patients With Infantile-Onset Pompe Disease Who Are Receiving Alglucosidase Alfa.

Brief Summary: Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease Type II) is caused by a deficiency of a critical enzyme in the body called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In patients with Pompe disease, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term growth and development of patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease with alglucosidase alfa before 1 year of age. Patients will be followed for 10-year period.
