Glycogen storage disease type II, also known as Pompe’s disease, is an inherited disorder caused by a mutation of the GAA gene. It primarily affects Finnish and Swedish Lapphund dogs. Dogs with glycogen storage disease type II are unable to break down glycogen, leading to a buildup in the heart, liver, and kidneys. The condition is ultimately fatal to affected dogs.
