We examined alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) gene mutations in 74 Japanese families with Fabry disease (FD) to determine the frequency of de novo mutations. In 5 of 74 families (6.8%), the probands had no positive family histories and were diagnosed as de novo because their parents had no mutations in GL...
