Abstract excerpt
Fabry disease, an X-linked inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism, results from the deficient activity of the lysosomal exoglycohydrolase, alpha-galactosidase A (EC 3.2.1.22; alpha-Gal A). The nature of the molecular lesions in the alpha-Gal A gene in 40 unrelated families with the classical phenotype (absent alpha-Gal A activity) was determined in order to provide precise heterozygote detection and...
