Molecular Screening of Feline Glycogen Storage Disease Type II (Pompe Disease): Allele Frequencies of the
Article in Genes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesGlycogen storage disease type II, also known as Pompe disease (PD), is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder triggered by a deficiency in lysosomal acid α-glucosidase (GAA). Recently, we discovered two deleterious missense variants of the
methodsWe developed fluorescent probe-based real-time polymerase chain reaction assays to genotype the c.1799G>A and c.55G>A variants. A total of 738 cats, comprising 99 purebred cats from 20 breeds and 540 mixed-breed cats, were screened using these assays.
resultsGenotyping assays clearly differentiated all known genotypes of the two variants. None of the 738 cats tested carried the c.1799G>A variant. However, we identified cats with c.55G/A and c.55A/A genotypes in the purebred (A allele frequency: 0.081) and mixed-breed cats (0.473). A significant difference (
conclusionsThe c.1799G>A mutation appears rare in cat populations, suggesting it may be confined to specific pedigree Japanese mixed-breed cats. The c.55G>A variant was detected in purebred and mixed-breed cats, suggesting that it may not be directly linked to feline PD. However, additional studies are required to elucidate the precise relationship between this variant and cardiac function. Genotyping assays will serve as valuable tools for diagnosing and genotyping feline PD.
