Urine-derived cells: a promising diagnostic tool in Fabry disease patients

Abstract excerpt

Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disorder resulting from impaired alpha-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) enzyme activity due to mutations in the GLA gene. Currently, powerful diagnostic tools and in vivo research models to study Fabry disease are missing, which is a major obstacle for further improvements in diagnosis and therapy. Here, we explore the utility of urine-derived primary cells of Fabry disease patients....
