Enzyme assay and clinical assessment in subjects with a Chinese hotspot late-onset Fabry mutation (IVS4 + 919G→A)

Newborn screening for Fabry disease in Taiwan Chinese has revealed a high incidence of the late-onset GLA mutation IVS4 + 919G→A (∼1 in 1,500-1,600 males). We studied 94 adults with this mutation [22 men, 72 women; mean age: men 57.8 ± 6.0 (range 42-68), women 39.1 ± 14.1 years (range 19-82)]. Plasm...
