Prediction of the clinical phenotype of Fabry disease based on protein sequential and structural information.

Abstract excerpt

Fabry disease is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase, exhibiting a wide clinical spectrum, from the early-onset severe 'classic' form to the late-onset mild 'variant' one. Recent screening of newborns revealed that the incidence of Fabry disease is unexpectedly high, and that the genotypes of patients with this disease are quite heterogeneous and many novel mutations have been...
