Enzyme Testing For Fabry Disease is Cost-Effective, Study Suggests

Testing alpha-galactosidase A enzyme activity be more cost-effective method for diagnosing Fabry than genetic tests,” the was published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Enzyme Testing For Fabry is caused by the enzyme alpha-galactosidase Broadly speaking, but typically doesn’t provide enough on its own to definitive diagnosis. The method is genetic testing the GLA gene, although can be issues when mutation with an unclear is detected. This analysis generally costs more at about $400 test.

Scientists funded by the BHF have developed the first ever tool to identify children at risk of sudden death from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is an inherited heart condition that causes the heart muscle to become thicker. It can lead to life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms and sudden cardiac arrest, which is the leading cause of death in children with the condition. Most people with HCM have few, if any, symptoms.  Although there are tools which can help predict the risk of sudden death in adults with hcm heart condition the condition, until now they haven’t existed for children. Scientists at University College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital collected anonymised medical records from cardiac centres around the world to find out which factors are associated with a higher risk of sudden death in children with HCM.  They used this to develop a tool that means doctors can identify children with HCM who may need to be fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) which can shock the heart back into a normal rhythm if they experience a life-threatening abnormal heart rhythm.
