Fabry Disease
What is Fabry Disease?
 One of the most common lysosomal storage
disorders1,2
 Caused by α-galactosidase A deficiency3
 Due to a mutation on the X chromosome (Xq22)4
 Leads to pathological accumulation of
sphingolipid Gb3*2,5
 Results in organ failure and premature death in
males and females2,5
*Gb3 = Globotriaosylceramide (sometimes abbreviated as GL-3, and
also known as ceramide trihexoside [CTH]).
Fabry disease is due to a mutation on
the X chromosome (Xq22)4

Diagnosis of Fabry Disease
Males
Females
Blood levels of α-galactosidase A
DNA Analysis
Low or absent
Confirmative
May be within normal range
Diagnostic
 Pedigree analysis should be carried out whenever possible
 Enzyme activity in females
 Can be low, absent, or normal in affected females
 Fabry disease should not be ruled out in females based on normal enzyme analysis
 Prenatal diagnosis
 α-galactosidase A activity present in fetal tissue
 May be requested if mother is heterozygous for Fabry disease
Assessing Disease Severity
 α-galactosidase A deficiency leads to deposition of lipid – mainly Gb3
(globotriaosylceramide) – in cells throughout the body1,2
 Nevertheless, Gb3 has not been established as an ideal marker in females3
 Urinary Gb3 is a better marker of Fabry disease than plasma Gb33
 Disease severity assessment
 Mainz Severity Score Index (MSSI)4
 Fabry disease severity scoring system (DS3)5
 Fabry age-adjusted score6

Clinical Signs and Symptoms:
Peripheral Neuropathy
 Pain is an early, often debilitating symptom, seen
in up to 77% of patients1
 Patients experience acroparesthesia and crisis of
burning or lancinating pain1,2
 Exercise, temperature change, or stress may
trigger a pain crisis1,3
 Reduced ability to sweat is common1 and
contributes to poor exercise and heat tolerance4

 Accumulation of Gb3 occurs in renal glomeruli
and tubules1
 Glomerular injury leads to mesangial
widening, ultimately leading to
glomerulosclerosis2
 By age 40, most patients have proteinuria*2
 By age 50, most patients have CRI2
 CKD** stage 3 is present in approximately 20%
of patients and 15% progress to ESRD***3

Living With Fabry Disease
 Progression of Fabry disease varies from person to person
 It also means that symptoms appear at different ages and with differing severity
 Infants
 Pain and heat-related discomfort often appear first in young children with Fabry disease 1
 Parents should be careful not to expose young children to extremes of temperature 1
 Children and adolescents often experience
 Episodes of pain and burning sensations in the hands and feet
 Spotted, dark red skin rash seen most densely between the belly button and the knees
 Changes in the appearance of the cornea
 Parents and teachers should consider
 Effects of physical exertion, exercise, and extremes of temperature
 Social-related issues to do with school or employment
 Adults
 Fabry disease is slowly progressive and symptoms resulting from damage to the kidneys, heart, and
central nervous system usually appear between the ages of 30 and 45 2
 Lifestyle considerations such as type of employment, choice of leisure activities, and diet are all
important factors
