Abstract excerpt
Fabry disease is an X-linked disorder accompanied with accumulation of glycosphingolipids resulting from the deficient activity of the lysosomal hydrolase, alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-GalA). In the present study, mRNA for alpha-GalA in fibroblasts from an 11-year-old Japanese patient with Fabry disease was examined using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The shorter message of alpha-GalA...
