  • P values are for combined men and women with Fabry-causing variants versus the background cohort unless specified otherwise using Fisher’s exact test.

  • *n=200 596 (194 578 for ACR data).

  • †Pearson’s χ2.

  • ‡Independent samples t-test.

  • §Creatinine missing for one woman.

  • ¶ACR missing for one man.

  • **

  • ACR, albumin–creatinine ratio; CKD-EPI eGFR, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration estimated glomerular filtration rate; NT, not tested.
