Long-term correction of globotriaosylceramide storage in Fabry mice by recombinant adeno-associated virus-mediated gene transfer

Abstract excerpt

Fabry disease is an X-linked recessive inborn metabolic disorder characterized by systemic and vascular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb(3)) caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-gal A). The condition is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality due to renal failure, cardiac disease, and early onset of stroke. Hemizygous males are primarily affected...
