Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder resulting from the α-galactosidase A gene mutations. Enzyme-replacement-therapy (ERT) products for FD currently used include agalsidase alfa and agalsidase beta.
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked genetic disorder caused by the deficient activity of lysosomal α-galactosidase (α-Gal).
Background: Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by GLA mutations, resulting in α-galactosidase (α-Gal) deficiency and accumulation of lysosomal substrates.
Background: Fabry patients on reduced dose of agalsidase-beta or after switch to agalsidase-alfa show a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and an increase of the Mainz Severity Score Index.

Alpha-mannosidosis is an ultra-rare monogenic disorder resulting from a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme alpha-mannosidase, with a prevalence estimated to be as low as 1:1,000,000 live births.
Introduction: Long-term outcome data provide important insights into the clinical utility of enzyme replacement therapies.
