Future clinical and biochemical predictions of Fabry disease in females by methylation studies of the GLA gene
24 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of α-galactosidase A (α-gal A). The clinical variability of the phenotypes of Fabry disease in females is still poorly understood. The degree of aberrant methylation of non-mutated alleles is thought to have significant effects on X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). We previously reported that one heterozygous Fabry female showing...
