RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Fabry disease (FD) is an inherited disorder that causes organ dysfunction. However, only a few studies have reported on bone mineral density (BMD) in FD patients, and the relationship between BMD and clinical factors such as globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) remains unclear. Therefore, the current study sought to investigate BMD in FD patients, the relationship between BMD and lyso-Gb3, and the effects of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) on changes in BMD and lyso-Gb3. METHODS: This single-center, observational study included 15 patients who visited our facility for FD between January 2008 and June 2021. We assessed BMD and clinical characteristics in study patients, including plasma lyso-Gb3 levels, and examined the relationship between BMD and plasma lyso-Gb3 levels, and changes in BMD after starting ERT. RESULTS: Male patients' BMD had reduced, whereas female patients' BMD was preserved. Male patients had significantly higher plasma lyso-Gb3 levels than female patients. Moreover, plasma lyso-Gb3 levels were found to be significantly related to the lumbar spine and femoral BMD. These were strongly linked with plasma lyso-Gb3 levels in male patients, whereas no strong link was observed in female patients. Furthermore, BMD significantly increased only in male patients although plasma lyso-Gb3 levels significantly decreased by ERT in all patients. CONCLUSION: BMD decreased possibly due to Gb3 accumulation, and ERT could increase BMD in male FD patients.
