We examined alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) gene mutations in 74 Japanese families with Fabry disease (FD) to determine the frequency of mutations. In 5 of 74 families (6.8%), the probands had no positive family histories and were diagnosed as because their parents had no mutations in GLA gene. The parents of Fabry patients do not necessarily have mutations in GLA gene which is an important consideration in genetic counseling for FD.
我们检测了74个患有法布里病(FD)的日本家庭中的α-半乳糖苷酶A(GLA)基因突变,以确定突变频率。在74个家庭中的5个(6.8%)中,先证者没有阳性家族史,并且由于其父母的GLA基因没有突变而被诊断为此病。法布里病患者的父母不一定有GLA基因突变,这在法布里病的遗传咨询中是一个重要的考虑因素。
