FABRY

Fabry Disease is a rare glycosphingolipid accumulation disorder with an X chromosome-mediated inheritance. Hemizygous or heterozygous mutations in the GLA gene are responsible for Fabry disease.

Identification of c.146G > A mutation in a Fabry patient and its correction by customized Cas9 base editors in vitro

2025-01-22

This study identifies a significant mutation (c.146G>A) in exon 1 of the GLA gene in a female Fabry disease patient. Bioinformatic predictions and biochemical analyses revealed that this variant significantly reduced the stability and activity of α-galactosidase A, confirming its pathogenicity. Using an adenine base-editing technique, the mutation was corrected in vitro. The study not only identified a novel variant but also demonstrated the potential of the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

FABRY

Low skeletal muscle mass as an early sign in children with fabry disease

2023-07-21

Low skeletal muscle mass is a common early symptom in children with Fabry disease (FD), suggesting that skeletal muscle is significantly affected in the early stages of FD.

FABRY

Novel Golden Lipid Nanoparticles with Small Interference Ribonucleic Acid for Substrate Reduction Therapy in Fabry Disease

2023-07-12

The results of this study highlight the potential of the new siRNA-golden LNP system as a promising nanomedicine to address Fabry disease (FD) by specific SRT.

FABRY

A novel double GLA gene mutation of W24R and N419D in a patient with cardiac Fabry disease

2023-06-10

This article reports a rare familial case of inherited cardiac Fabry disease (FD) associated with a novel double mutation in the GLA gene: W24R and N419D.

FABRY

Population Frequency of Undiagnosed Fabry Disease in the General Population

2023-04-17

This study confirms that Fabry disease is more common than previously recognized and still underdiagnosed especially in women.

FABRY

Prevalence of Fabry disease-causing variants in the UK Biobank

2023-04-01

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of Fabry disease-causing variants in UK Biobank.

Aseptic meningitis in Fabry disease due to a novel GLA variant: an expanded phenotype?

2023-03-29

This paper presents a family in which a novel GLA pathogenic variant was associated with aseptic meningitis in 2 of 5 family members.

FABRY

Late-onset Fabry disease due to a new (p.Pro380Leu) pathogenic variant of GLA Gene

2022-12-01

p.Pro380Leu novel pathogenic variant of GLA gene should be considered as pathogenic and associated with a late-onset variant of Fabry disease with a predominant neurological phenotype.

FABRY

An Overview of Molecular Mechanisms in Fabry Disease Biomolecules.

2022-10-12

This review provides an overview of the main features of FD, focusing on its molecular mechanism and the role of biomarkers.

FABRY

Methylome Profiling in Fabry Disease in Clinical Practice: A Proof of Concept

2022-10-11

The methylation state of specific genes can potentially identify Fabry patients and possibly predict organ involvement and disease evolution.

FABRY

Biomarkers for Monitoring Renal Damage Due to Fabry Disease in Patients Treated with Migalastat: A Review for Nephrologists

2022-09-28

It is aimed to review which biomarkers are useful for nephropathy follow-up among Fabry "amenable" patients receiving migalastat.

FABRY

Dysregulated DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of Fabry disease

2022-09-26

This study provides evidence that α-galactosidase A deficiency and glycosphingolipid storage may affect DNA methylation homeostasis and highlights the importance of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of Fabry disease.
