no it is not.
Mrs. Crowley may have decided to have another child because she desired to expand her family or simply wanted another child despite the risk of the genetic disease. Additionally, Mrs. Crowley may have believed that advancements in medical research and treatment options for Pompe disease could provide better outcomes for a new child with the condition.
It is the only glycogen storage disease with a defect in lysosomal metabolism, and the first glycogen storage disease to be identified, in 1932 by the Dutch pathologist J.C.Pompe.The build-up of glycogen causes progressive muscle weakness throughout the body.
when you get a disease you are said to be INFECTED by it .
diseases
There are 2 syllables in the word disease. dis.ease I hope I helped. Have a great day!!
Pompe disease is caused by a build up of glycogen (a type of sugar) in the cells, which causes muscles and organs not to function properly. Pompe disease is an inherited disease which means you can only get it from your parents when they both have a copy of the Pompe disease gene.

lysosomes
yes
Lysosomes
Lysosomes are the organelles that become defective in these diseases.
It took 3 muscle biopsies to diagnose my Pompe. Although I believe a blood spot test is the best way to diagnose it.

The muscle weakness caused by Pompe disease affects many parts of the body. It can result in difficulties with walking and moving around, breathing properly, even eating and performing basic day-to-day tasks. Because the effects of Pompe disease are wide-ranging, proper management requires a comprehensive approach.
In Pompe's disease, the defect lies in the lysosomal enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which leads to the accumulation of glycogen in lysosomes. In Tay-Sachs disease, the defect is in the enzyme hexosaminidase A, which leads to the accumulation of GM2 gangliosides in lysosomes.
