Clinical and Biochemical Improvement After Switching From Agalsidase Alfa to Beta in a Boy With Classic Fabry Disease: A Case Report [PDF]
We described a 12‐year‐old boy with classic Fabry disease who was diagnosed through newborn screening. At age 6.2, he started agalsidase alfa based on evidence of subclinical organ involvement. At age 7.2, acroparesthesia subsequently developed.

Consequences of a global enzyme shortage of agalsidase beta in adult Dutch Fabry patients [PDF]
Background Enzyme replacement therapy is currently the only approved therapy for Fabry disease. From June 2009 on, viral contamination of Genzyme's production facility resulted in a worldwide shortage of agalsidase beta leading to involuntary dose ...

Reducing agalsidase beta infusion time in Fabry patients: low incidence of antibody formation and infusion-associated reactions in an Italian multicenter study [PDF]
Background Fabry disease is a rare progressive X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the GLA gene that encodes α-galactosidase A. Agalsidase beta is a recombinant enzyme replacement therapy authorized in Europe at a standard dose of 1.
