Summary
Background: Recently, urinary excretion of the tetrasaccharide 6-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-maltotriose (Glc4) has been proposed as a marker for the diagnosis and monitoring of Pompe disease (PD). We aimed to determine the reference intervals and reliable decision-making levels of urine tetrasaccharide concentrations for the diagnosis of infantileand late-onset Pompe patients in the Turkish population.
