The poster, sponsored by Amicus Therapeutics, was produced from an analysis of interviews of 27 LODP individuals living in the UK. It collates the emotional, diagnostic and treatment journeys together into an original and fascinating form that highlights the emotional roller-coaster experienced by people within the Pompe community.
We would like to express our extreme gratitude to all those who took part in this project; the information will be invaluable in many situations; for example, in generating educational material for families, individuals, healthcare professionals, and medicine regulators.
