A recent lipidomics approach has been performed on renal tissue biopsy belonging to an FD patient to obtain a potential profile of lipid biomarkers, such as globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3), galabiosylceramide (Ga2) and their isoforms and analogues. The gene discussed is ETFA; the disease is Fabry disease.
