Abstract excerpt
Mutations in proteins that induce misfolding and proteasomal degradation are common causes of inherited diseases. Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A activity in lysosomes resulting in an accumulation of glycosphingolipid globotriosylceramide (Gb3). Some classical Fabry hemizygotes and all cardiac variants have residual alpha-galactosidase A activity, but...
