Fabry-Anderson's disease or angiokeratoma corporis diffusum (ACD) is an X-linked sphingolipidosis with a systemic character and occurs in 2-5 per million births (1-3). The basic defect is the absence of a lysosomal enzyme x-galactosidase A. This enzyme is necessary for the metabolization of ceramide
OBJECTIVE
Fabry's disease is the second most frequent alteration of glycosphingolipid lysosomal storage diseases (after Gaucher's disease). Typical symptomatology starts in the first decade of life. Neuropathic pain, gastrointestinal involvement with abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea and
Although clinical evidence of major organ damage is typical of adulthood, many of the signs and symptoms of Anderson Fabry Disease (AFD) occur frequently in childhood. The clinical phenotype of AFD in pediatric patients has been described in several studies which show a higher incidence and an
A 38-year-old male Caucasian with Fabry disease presented with angiokeratomas and tortuous conjunctival and retinal vessels. Additionally, the patient showed characteristic skin lesions of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. His past medical history revealed anhidrosis, acral paresthesias,
BACKGROUND
Fabry's disease is due to alpha-galactosidase deficiency. This rare lysosomal storage disease is transmitted by recessive X-linked heredity. Sphingolipids (galactosyl-glucosyl-ceramide) accumulate in many organs.
METHODS
A 19-year-old man with known hypoparathyroidism presented with
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal disorder that results from a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A leading to accumulation of glycolipids, mainly globotriaosylceramide in the cells from different tissues. Classical Fabry disease affects various organs. Clinical
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the GLA gene that lead to a reduction or an absence of the enzyme α-galactosidase A, resulting in the progressive and multisystemic accumulation of globotriaosylceramide. Clinical manifestation varies from mild to severe,
Early clinical symptoms were analyzed from all known 43 children with aspartylglucosaminuria, born during 1974-1989 in Finland. Pre- and perinatal histories appeared normal for all children, except for muscular hypotonia and weak sucking in some babies. Three infants had abduction stiffness in the
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene that result in deficiency of enzyme α-galactosidase A activity. Clinical manifestation varies from mild to severe depending on the phenotype. The main clinical manifestations are cutaneous
Fabry's disease is a rare, sex-linked disorder of glycolipid metabolism. We describe a patient with watery diarrhea, early satiety, and asymptomatic cholelithiasis. The jejunal aspirate demonstrated bacterial overgrowth; sigmoidoscopy showed rectal angiokeratoma corpora diffusum. The gastric
