Fabry nephropathy as the clinical anchor for kidney-centered metabolic surveillance: linking genetic heterogeneity to early risk identification [PDF]
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by pathogenic variants in GLA, in which the kidney is a principal target organ and Fabry nephropathy is a major determinant of long-term outcome.

Plasma Globotriaosylsphingosine Level as a Primary Screening Target for Fabry Disease in Patients With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy [PDF]
Although previous studies have suggested a certain prevalence of Fabry disease (FD) in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) patients, the screening of FD is difficult because of its wide-ranging clinical phenotypes. We aimed to clarify the utility of combined measurement of plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) concentration and α-galactosidase A ...

Pathogenic mechanisms in Fabry disease [PDF]
Anderson-Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficient activity of the enzyme α-galactosidase A, resulting in progressive accumulation of glycosphingolipids, particularly globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), across multiple

Globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso‐Gb3) as a biomarker for cardiac variant (N215S) Fabry disease
AbstractFabry disease (FD) is a multi‐systemic X‐linked lysosomal disorder caused by the deficient activity of α‐galactosidase‐A enzyme, which leads to accumulation of glycosphingolipids in various body tissues. The N215S mutation is a known variant of FD, with a late onset cardiac phenotype.

Quantification of Globotriaosylsphingosine in Plasma and Urine of Fabry Patients by Stable Isotope Ultraperformance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
BACKGROUND Biochemical markers that accurately reflect the severity and progression of disease in patients with Fabry disease and their response to treatment are urgently needed. Globotriaosylsphingosine, also called lysoglobotriaosylceramide (lysoGb3), is a promising candidate biomarker.

Clinical and biochemical investigation of male patients exhibiting membranous cytoplasmic bodies in biopsied kidney tissues; a pitfall in diagnosis of Fabry disease [PDF]
Background: The existence of membranous cytoplasmic bodies in biopsied kidney tissues is one of the important findings when considering Fabry disease as the first choice diagnosis.

Analysis of Lyso-Globotriaosylsphingosine in Dried Blood Spots [PDF]
Recently, lyso-globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) was found to be elevated in plasma of treatment naive male patients and some female patients with Fabry Disease (FD). This study tested whether lyso-Gb3 could be analyzed in dried blood spots (DBS) from filter cards and whether concentrations are elevated in newborn infants with FD.
