Pompe disease may raise risk of brain aneurysms, new study investigates

This study investigates whether people with late-onset Pompe disease have a higher risk of severe blood vessel problems in the brain and aorta. Researchers will collect medical and genetic data from adults with Pompe disease and from those who have had a brain aneurysm or bleeding. The goal is to understand if the genetic mutation causing Pompe disease also makes blood vessels more prone to malformations, which could improve screening and early detection.
