ABSTRACT
We aimed to analyze the clinical data of 10 patients (6 male and 4 female) with Fabry disease (FD). The mean age of the patients was (28.80±9.27) years. Seven patients had classical FD and three had delayed onset FD. Among the 10 patients, six had skin involvement and cutaneous angiokeratoma; five had hypohidrosis or anhidrosis; nine had intermittent neuralgia; and three had supraorbital ridge protrusion, forehead bulge, and lip thickening. Five patients had proteinuria, including one with chronic kidney disease stage 3 and one with chronic kidney disease stage 5. Cardiac involvement occurred in three patients, two had myocardial hypertrophy and one had valvular insufficiency. The activity of galactosidase decreased in seven patients (2.80-1.55 µmol·L-1·h-1). Plasma deacetyl-GL-3 was elevated in all 10 patients(3.12-120.00 ng/ml). Three patients underwent renal biopsy, wherein two cases of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and one of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis was found. A large number of myeloid and zebra bodies were found in the podocytes in three patients, including a small number of myeloid and zebra bodies in the renal tubular epithelial cells in one patient with occasional zebra bodies in the renal interstitium. Nine patients had GLA gene mutations. One patient was c.102T>A, a de novo mutation. Four patients were treated with agalsidase α injection (0.2 mg/kg, intravenous infusion every 2 weeks), and their prognosis was good. FD has various clinical manifestations and multi-system involvement, which requires multidisciplinary cooperation. Detection of galactosidase activity, plasma globotriaosylsphingosine, and GLA gene mutation can help for accurate diagnosis.
