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.
