• Accumulation of Globotriaosylceramide in Podocytes in Fabry Nephropathy Is Associated with Progressive Podocyte Loss 

      Najafian, Behzad; Tøndel, Camilla; Svarstad, Einar; Gubler, Marie-Claire; Oliveira, Joao-Paulo; Mauer, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background In males with classic Fabry disease, the processes leading to the frequent outcome of ESKD are poorly understood. Defects in the gene encoding α-galactosidase A lead to accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL3) ...

      Current therapies for Fabry disease are based on reversing intracellular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) by enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) or chaperone-mediated stabilization of the defective enzyme, thereby ...
    • Mosaicism of podocyte involvement is related to podocyte injury in females with Fabry disease 

      Mauer, Michael; Glynn, Emily; Svarstad, Einar; Tøndel, Camilla; Gubler, Marie-Claire; West, Michael; Sokolovskiy, Alexey; Whitley, Chester; Najafian, Behzad (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-11)
      Background: Fabry disease. an X-linked deficiency of α-galactosidase A coded by the GLA gene, leads to intracellular globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulation. Although less common than in males, chronic kidney disease, ...
