Glycogen storage disease type 2 (Pompe disease) is an acid maltase deficiency disease, which is an autosomal recessive genetic disease. A class of disorders of glycogen metabolism caused by congenital enzyme defects. Mainly due to the lack of acid maltase, a large amount of glycogen accumulation occurs in various tissues throughout the body.
