We found a novel acceptor splice site mutation in the invariant AG of intron 6 of a-galactosidase A (a-Gal A) gene (IVS6-1G->A) in a patient with Fabry disease by sequencing of genomic DNA. Sequencing of RT-PCR revealed the deletion of first base pair (c909del) of exon 7 in mRNA and a frameshift res
The enzyme deficiency causes the intralysosomal accumulation of glycosphingolipids. The affected hemizygotes manifest acroparethesis, angiokeratoma, hypohidrosis, corneal opacities, and progressive vascular diseases of the kidney, heart, and brain. The human a-Gal A cDNA (Bishop et al., 1986) and ge
Fabry disease is an X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of a-galactosidase A (a-gal; EC 3.2.1.22). In the past, it has been difficult to give an unequivocal diagnosis of carrier status in Fabry disease because of the overlap between normal and heterozygote enzyme lev
