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
Fabry disease, an X-linked recessive disorder of glycosphingolipid catabolism, results from lesions in the alpha-galactosidase A gene leading to deficient or absent activity of the lysosomal hydrolase. To facilitate the detection of rearrangements in this 14-kb gene, a method was developed for the P
For most Mendelian disorders, targeted genome sequencing is an effective method to detect causative mutations. However, sequencing PCR-amplified exonic regions and their intronic boundaries can miss large deletions or duplications and mutations that lead to PCR failures in autosomal dominant disorde
