Renal insufficiency in Fabry disease patients may lead to cellular events that result in cardiovascular disease, a study shows. The study, “Serum Biomarkers of Endothelial Dysfunction in Fabry Associated Cardiomyopathy,” was published in the journal Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine. Fabry disease patients are unable to produce an…

Women with Fabry disease can suffer from significant disease that affects several organs, and should be closely monitored for possibly starting enzyme replacement therapy, recent research shows. The study, “Major Organic Involvement in Women with Fabry Disease in Argentina,” was published in the Scientific World Journal. Fabry disease…

Changes in gene expression in the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for attention and decision-making, may account for some of the cognitive symptoms and amplified pain perception observed in Fabry disease, a mouse study shows. The study, “Altered Gene Expression in Prefrontal Cortex of a Fabry…

A newborn screening study led to Japanese researchers discovering another mutation that may cause Fabry disease. The study, “A new mutation found in newborn screening for Fabry disease evaluated by plasma globotriaosylsphingosine levels,” was published in the Official Journal of the Japan Society of Human Genetics. Fabry disease…
