α-Gal A missense variants associated with Fabry disease can lead to ER stress and induction of the unfolded protein response

Abstract excerpt

Anderson-Fabry Disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal disorder caused by mutations in GLA, the gene encoding the lysosomal hydrolase α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A), leading to accumulation of glycosphingolipids in the lysosomes. FD is a multisystemic disorder leading to progressive cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and kidney dysfunction. Phenotypes are divided in two main classes, classic or non-classic, depending on...
