Abstract
Pompe disease results from inherited deficiency of the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase resulting in lysosomal accumulation of glycogen primarily in skeletal muscle. Reported is the first case in which a donor with late onset Pompe disease (LOPD) was successfully used for deceased donor liver and kidney transplantation. This case demonstrates co-operative transplant surgery and genetic medicine evaluation and risk estimation for donors with inherited metabolic disorders some of which may be suitable for donation of selected organs for transplantation.
