Deskripsi
Treatments for Fabry disease, an inherited lysosomal disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A, are not fully efficacious. Here the authors report a single-arm phase I trial of gene therapy with autologous, lentivirus-transduced, hematopoietic cells that express alpha-galactosidase A to demonstrate that this approach is safe in five patients with Fabry disease.
