A pilot study of newborn screening for Fabry disease was performed in Okinawa, Japan. A total of 2,443 neonates were screened using dried blood spot samples over 7 years starting in 2007. Of 13 neonates determined to have low α-galactosidase A (GLA) activity, one boy had a new missense mutation, p.G144D of the gene. This mutation was considered to be a late-onset type, as evaluated based on plasma globotriaosylsphingosine levels and family history.
在日本冲绳进行了一项关于法布里病新生儿筛查的试点研究。从2007年开始的7年时间里,共使用干血斑样本对2443名新生儿进行了筛查。在13名被确定为α-半乳糖苷酶A(GLA)活性低的新生儿中,有一名男孩携带一种新的错义突变,即该基因的p.G144D突变。根据血浆球三糖神经酰胺水平和家族病史评估,这种突变被认为是迟发型。
