Abstract excerpt
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) deficiency. Kidney and heart failure are frequent complications in adulthood and greatly contribute to patient morbidity and mortality. Because α-Gal A-deficient mouse models do not recapitulate cardiorenal findings observed in patients, a nonmouse model may be beneficial to our understanding of disease pathogenesis. In...
