Table 2 Results of the questionnaire assessing the Polish experts’ opinion regarding migalastat use in Fabry disease (FD); the level of agreement is presented as percentage of physicians (n = 5) prescribing migalastat

From: A review and recommendations for oral chaperone therapy in adult patients with Fabry disease
