Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fabry disease (FD) is a recessive X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by α-galactosidase A (GLA) deficiency. Although the mechanism is unclear, GLA deficiency causes an accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), leading to vasculopathy. METHODS: To explore the relationship between the accumulation of Gb3 and vasculopathy, induced pluripotent stem cells generated from four Fabry patients...
