Identification of c.146G > A mutation in a Fabry patient and its correction by customized Cas9 base editors in vitro

2025-01-22

This study identifies a significant mutation (c.146G>A) in exon 1 of the GLA gene in a female Fabry disease patient. Bioinformatic predictions and biochemical analyses revealed that this variant significantly reduced the stability and activity of α-galactosidase A, confirming its pathogenicity. Using an adenine base-editing technique, the mutation was corrected in vitro. The study not only identified a novel variant but also demonstrated the potential of the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

FABRY

Low skeletal muscle mass as an early sign in children with fabry disease

2023-07-21

Low skeletal muscle mass is a common early symptom in children with Fabry disease (FD), suggesting that skeletal muscle is significantly affected in the early stages of FD.
