Genotype, phenotype and disease severity reflected by serum LysoGb3 levels in patients with Fabry disease.

TL;DR: Serum LysoGb3 relates to disease severity, enzyme replacement response, and to the genotype severity in males, and appears to be one marker of metabolic phenotyping of FD.

Improved Efficacy in a Fabry Disease Model Using a Systemic mRNA Liver Depot System as Compared to Enzyme Replacement Therapy.

TL;DR: The sustained delivery of therapeutic human α-galactosidase protein in vivo via nanoparticle-formulated mRNA in mouse and non-human primate is described, with a demonstration of efficacy through clinically relevant biomarker reduction in a mouse Fabry disease model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Enzyme Replacement Therapy and Antidrug Antibodies in Patients with Fabry Disease.

TL;DR: Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) caused by mutations of the α-galactosidase A gene.

High Incidence of Later-Onset Fabry Disease Revealed by Newborn Screening*

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.

Fabry disease, an under-recognized multisystemic disorder: expert recommendations for diagnosis, management, and enzyme replacement therapy.

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.
