Deep next-generation proteomics and network analysis reveal systemic and tissue-specific patterns in Fabry disease

Abstract

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal rare disease due to a deficiency of α-galactosidase A activity. The accumulation of glycosphingolipids mainly affects the kidney, heart, and central nervous system, considerably reducing life expectancy. Although the accumulation of undegraded substrate is considered the primary cause of FD, it is established that secondary dysfunctions at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels ultimately give rise to the clinical phenotype. To parse this biological complexity, a large-scale deep plasma targ Show more
