Fabry disease is an X-linked hereditary metabolic storage disorder, due to the deficiency in lysosomal alpha-galactosidase A, with the consequent glycosphingolipids accumulation, primarily globotriaosylceramide, at cellular level. Multiorganic involvement occurs progressively, leading to severe
Fabry disease is a rare lipid storage disorder, often silent until adulthood. We report the case of a rural, primary care patient whose initial presentation was that of progressive weakness from anemia. The anemia was determined to be of renal origin, and led to a diagnosis of Fabry disease.
A 30 year-old male patient with a history of Fabry's disease, was referred to hospital with symptoms of dizziness, hypotension and weakness. Fabry's disease had been diagnosed 2 years before, based on angiokeratoma and hypohidrosis on physical examination and complete lack of alpha-galactosidase A
This report describes a third mucopolysaccharidosis in animals: canine mucopolysaccharidosis VII. The affected dog was the offspring of a father-daughter mating. Weakness in the rear legs was evident at 8 weeks of age and became progressively worse. He had a large head, a shortened maxilla, and
The etiologic determinants of cryptogenic stroke remain a diagnostic challenge in clinical practice. Fabry disease (FD) is one of the monogenic causes of stroke that may remain unrecognized as a potential contributing causative factor, because of its rarity and difficulty in diagnosis. OBJECTIVE
To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with inherited hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
METHODS
The clinical characteristics, electrocardiogram, serum chemistry and diagnostic methods were retrospectively investigated in 5 patients with inherited hypertrophic
Both Fabry disease and Duchenne muscular dystrophy were confirmed by gene analysis in a Japanese boy. He developed muscle weakness at 4 years of age. A muscle biopsy revealed lamellar inclusion bodies in vascular endothelial cells in addition to myopathic changes with negative dystrophin staining.
Intracellular accumulation of phospholipids may be a consequence of inherited or acquired metabolic disorders. In Fabry disease, deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A results in storage of globotriasylceramide in numerous cells including endothelium, striated muscle (skeletal, cardiac), smooth muscle,
