Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and efficacy of recombinant human alpha-galactosidase A replacement therapy in Fabry's disease.
Christine M. Eng,Nathalie Guffon,William R. Wilcox,Dominique P. Germain,Philip J. Lee,S. Waldek,Louis R. Caplan,Gabor E. Linthorst,Robert J. Desnick +8 more
TL;DR: Recombinant alpha-galactosidase A replacement therapy cleared microvascular endothelial deposits of globotriaosylceramide from the kidneys, heart, and skin in patients with Fabry's disease, reversing the pathogenesis of the chief clinical manifestations of this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pycnodysostosis, a Lysosomal Disease Caused by Cathepsin K Deficiency
TL;DR: It is suggested that cathepsin K is a major protease in bone resorption, providing a possible rationale for the treatment of disorders such as osteoporosis and certain forms of arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Incidence of Later-Onset Fabry Disease Revealed by Newborn Screening*
Marco Spada,Severo Pagliardini,Makiko Yasuda,Turgut Tukel,Geetha Thiagarajan,Hitoshi Sakuraba,Alberto Ponzone,Robert J. Desnick +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the later-onset phenotype of Fabry disease is underdiagnosed among males with cardiac, cerebrovascular, and/or renal disease and raises ethical issues related to when screening should be performed--in the neonatal period or at early maturity, perhaps in conjunction with screening for other treatable adult-ONSet disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabry disease, an under-recognized multisystemic disorder: expert recommendations for diagnosis, management, and enzyme replacement therapy.
Robert J. Desnick,Roscoe O. Brady,John A. Barranger,Allan J. Collins,Dominique P. Germain,Martin E. Goldman,Gregory A. Grabowski,Seymour Packman,William R. Wilcox +8 more
TL;DR: Recently, enzyme replacement with human -Gal A has been shown to safely reverse the pathogenesis of the major clinical manifestations, to decrease pain, and to stabilize renal function in patients with Fabry disease, and the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products has approved the treatment and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is currently reviewing it.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Genotype-guided dosing of warfarin did not improve anticoagulation control during the first 4 weeks of therapy and there was a significant interaction between dosing strategy and race.
