Abstract
Based on a review of a large patient cohort, published literature, and 3 newborn screening cohorts, we concluded that children diagnosed through newborn screening with late-onset Pompe disease and the common heterozygous c.-32-13T>G variant require frequent cardiac follow-up with electrocardiography for arrhythmias. However, there is limited evidence for performing repeated echocardiography for cardiomyopathy.
