BACKGROUND
Bioprostheses for cardiovascular surgery have limitations in their use following as calicification. α-galactosidase epitope is known as a stimulant of immune response and then shows a progressing calcification. The objective of this study was to evaluate histologic characteristics and
BACKGROUND
We present 2 cases of teenager males presented with burning pain in extremities and turned out to be cases of Fabry disease.The purpose of presenting this case is to highlight the fact that suspicion of Fabry disease in patients presenting with these symptoms will lead to early diagnosis
BACKGROUND
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder, caused by a deficiency of α-galactosidase A. Several studies demonstrated that heterozygotes have symptoms such as acroparesthesia, abdominal pain and chronic fatigue. However, as these symptoms are aspecific and relatively
BACKGROUND
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A enzyme, which leads to the accumulation of its substrate, the globotriaosylceramide or Gb3, in many organs and tissues. Main clinical manifestations of FD are neuropathic pain,
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a deficient activity of the enzyme α-galactosidase A, resulting in a vasculopathic involvement of various organ systems, e.g. cerebral structures. Marked cerebral vasculopathy with subsequent white matter lesions (WML) are
Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by deficiency of the enzyme alpha galactosidase A and resulting accumulation of globotriaosylceramide. The symptoms of Fabry disease are heterogeneous including renal failure, cardiac hypertrophy, and stroke and
Fabry disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder resulting from deficient activity of alpha-galactosidase A and subsequent pathological accumulation of glycosphingolipids throughout the body. Traditionally, Fabry disease was managed symptomatically, but the introduction of enzyme replacement
OBJECTIVE
Fabry disease is a treatable cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) characterized by a genetic deficiency of α-galactosidase A. European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) recommends screening for Fabry disease in CKD patients. However, this is based on expert opinion and there are no reports of
BACKGROUND
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked disorder that results from a deficiency in a lysosomal enzyme known as alpha-galactosidase A, with accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gl3). Early manifestations include angiokeratomas, acroparesthesias, and hypohidrosis and may progress to renal
BACKGROUND
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked disorder caused by deficient activity of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. This produces progressive lysosomal accumulation of globotriaosylceramide throughout the body, leading to organ failure and premature death.
OBJECTIVE
Here, we present the clinical
OBJECTIVE
To determine if there is significant symptomatology in women with heterozygous alpha-galactosidase mutations.
METHODS
Data from medical records of the 44 heterozygous females followed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center were compiled and analyzed for symptoms of Fabry disease. Quality of life
