Started in 2004 and sponsored by Genzyme, a Sanofi company, the Pompe Registry was established as a global, voluntary, observational database to collect and report on the natural history and outcomes of patients with Pompe disease through routine clinical practice, regardless of patient treatment status. This video highlights the importance of the Registry through interviews with physicians in the field and patients with Pompe disease. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnjzV7dkbhs)

The Pompe Registry is an important program that Genzyme sponsors and administers. A disease registry contains medical information on patients with a specific condition, in a database that can be analyzed and used by physicians treating patients with the same condition. Registries have proven to be especially valuable in rare diseases like Pompe disease. Information submitted to the Pompe Registry will be maintained as confidential in accordance with applicable national privacy regulations and other state and local laws related to medical information.
