Functional studies of new gla gene mutations leading to conformational fabry disease

TLDR
The hypothesis that an active site-specific chemical chaperone, which could be administered orally, might be effective in treating GAL-A conformational defects is endorsed, paving the way for conformational FD.

Treatment of Fabry’s Disease with the Pharmacologic Chaperone Migalastat

TL;DR: Among all randomly assigned patients with Fabry's disease (with mutant α-galactosidase forms that were suitable or not suitable for migalastat therapy), the percentage of patients who had a response at 6 months did not differ significantly between the migAlastat group and the placebo group.

Functional Characterisation of Alpha-Galactosidase A Mutations as a Basis for a New Classification System in Fabry Disease

TL;DR: In order to predict the metabolic consequence of a given mutation, in vitro enzyme activity with in vivo biomarker data is combined with the pharmacological chaperone 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin (DGJ) to provide information for the clinical relevance of PC therapy for a given mutant.

Cerebrovascular Involvement in Fabry Disease Current Status of Knowledge

TL;DR: Fabry disease is inherited as an X-linked trait; many of the male patients develop a classic severe phenotype with early onset of symptoms, whereas heterozygous females exhibit phenotypes ranging from asymptomatic to major involvement of vital organs.

An atypical variant of Fabry's disease in men with left ventricular hypertrophy

TL;DR: Seven unrelated patients with atypical variants of hemizygous Fabry's disease were found among 230 men with left ventricular hypertrophy, and Fabry’s disease should be considered as a cause of unexplainedleft ventricularhypertrophy.

Quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum protein factory.

TL;DR: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a factory where secretory proteins are manufactured, and where stringent quality-control systems ensure that only correctly folded proteins are sent to their final destinations.

The molecular defect leading to Fabry disease: structure of human alpha-galactosidase.

TL;DR: The structure of human alpha-GAL brings Fabry disease into the realm of molecular diseases, where insights into the structural basis of the disease phenotypes might help guide the clinical treatment of patients.
