Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Compare levels of lipids between well characterised enzymatically-genetically-phenotypically patients with Fabry disease and healthy controls (with no Fabry disease).

Correlate levels of lipids in patients with Fabry disease to clinical outcomes/manifestations of the disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The hypothesis is that Sphingosine-1 Phosphate (S1P) or any other related sphingoid bases and/or other lipid class could be a marker of the severity of cardiovascular remodelling in Fabry disease.

The overall approach is, by minimising possible pre-analytical and analytical biases, to study by lipidomics in well characterised enzymatically, genetically and phenotypically patients with Fabry disease, if S1P or any other lipid (including other glycosphingolipids) is shown to be a biomarker for the diagnosis, monitoring of disease activity and prognosis (including cardiovascular outcomes).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients with Fabry disease

Adult men and women with well characterized Fabry disease

Lipidomics

Intervention Type OTHER

Lipidomics is the large-scale study of lipids (fats and fat-like molecules) within biological systems. It involves identifying and quantifying the wide variety of lipids in cells, tissues, or organisms to understand their roles in metabolism, signaling, and disease. Lipidomics is a subfield of metabolomics and uses advanced analytical techniques, like mass spectrometry, to profile lipid molecules. It helps in studying how lipids contribute to cellular functions, disease development, and responses to therapies.

Healthy controls (with no Fabry disease)

Adult men and women from the endocrinology and nephrology in- or out-patient clinic
