Agalsidase beta slows the progression of advanced Fabry's disease

This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.

Fabry's disease results from a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A; accumulation of this enzyme's substrates can cause renal, cardiac and cerebrovascular dysfunction, and lead to early death. In this paper, Banikazemi et al. report on a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that investigated the effects of agalsidase beta (recombinant alpha-galactosidase A) on clinical outcomes in 82 adult patients with advanced Fabry's disease and mild to moderate kidney dysfunction.
