Table 1.

Paired-sample t-tests assessing mean differences in measured biomarker levels over 42 days in seven Fabry patients at two different collection time points (morning and evening). Means ± standard deviation are shown. For statistically significant results, p-values are highlighted in gray or in black if the highest mean concentration value was measured in the morning or the evening, respectively.

indicates that statistical significance was still valid after correction for multiple comparisons using the Holm–Šídák procedure (63 comparisons); M: morning collection; E: evening collection. All participants were under ERT except for participant no. 1 who was an ERT-naïve patient. Patients 1–4 were males, whereas patients 5–7 were females. For lyso-Gb3 analogues, the mass difference in Da compared to lyso-Gb3 is indicated in brackets.
