Progress in Diagnosis and Treatment of Children having Fabry Disease
Fabry disease (FD) is a rare progressive X-linked genetic lysosomal storage disorder. Mutations of the GLA gene result in deficiency of α-galactosidase (α-Gal A), and the accumulation of glycosphingolipids, particularly globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) and ...

Although plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) is a promising biomarker of Fabry disease (FD), few studies have assessed the impact of lyso-Gb3 in patients with FD. A total of 38 patients diagnosed with FD at Ruijin Hospital between January 2012 and December 2014 were recruited in the current study.

Fabry Disease: Molecular Basis, Pathophysiology, Diagnostics and Potential Therapeutic Directions
Fabry disease (FD) is a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) characterized by the deficiency of α-galactosidase A (α-GalA) and the consequent accumulation of toxic metabolites such as globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and globotriaosylsphingosine (lysoGb3).

A questionnaire survey on the diagnosis and treatment of Fabry nephropathy in clinical practice [PDF]
Background Fabry nephropathy is characterized by a deficiency of lysosomal alpha-galactosidase A, which results in proteinuria and kidney disease. The ineffectiveness of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for severe kidney failure highlights the need for ...

Plasma globotriaosylsphingosine in relation to phenotypes of Fabry disease
Background Fabry disease (FD), a lysosomal storage disorder caused by α-galactosidase A (GLA) gene variants, has a heterogeneous phenotype. GLA variants can lead to classical FD, an attenuated non-classical phenotype, or no disease at all. This study investigates the value of plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lysoGb3)

Case Report: First Two Identified Cases of Fabry Disease in Central Asia
Background: Fabry disease (FD, OMIM #301500) is a rare, progressive, X-linked inherited, genetic disease due to the functional deficiency of lysosomal α-galactosidase (α-GAL) that leads to the accumulation of glycosphingolipids (mainly ...

Endothelial Dysfunction in Fabry Disease Is Related to Glycocalyx Degradation
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked multisystemic lysosomal storage disease due to a deficiency of α-galactosidase A (GLA/AGAL). Progressive cellular accumulation of the AGAL substrate globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) leads to endothelial dysfunction.

Fabry disease in a Japanese population-molecular and biochemical characteristics
We had experienced 117 Japanese Fabry patients (72 males and 45 females) from 1977 to 2006, and then we generated an improved Fabry analysis system in 2007 and have found 196 ones (95 males and 101 females) since then.
