FAbry STabilization indEX (FASTEX): an innovative tool for the assessment of clinical stabilization in Fabry disease
Two disease severity scoring systems, the Mainz Severity Score Index (MSSI) and Fabry Disease Severity Scoring System (DS3), have been validated for quantifying the disease burden of Fabry disease. We aimed to develop a dynamic mathematical model [the FASTEX (FAbry STabilization indEX)] to assess the clinical stability. A multidisciplinary panel of experts in Fabry disease first defined a novel...
متن کاملNephropathy in Fabry disease and iatrogenic phospholipidosis mimicking Fabry disease
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked inborn error of the glycosphingolipid metabolism caused by deficient activity of lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. It is characterized by progressive multisystemic involvement that leads to premature death due to major organ failure, particularly the kidneys and heart. It appears that the disease is underdiagnosed in patients with end-stage renal disease. ...
متن کاملFabry disease
Fabry disease (FD) is a progressive, X-linked inherited disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism due to deficient or absent lysosomal α-galactosidase A activity. FD is pan-ethnic and the reported annual incidence of 1 in 100,000 may underestimate the true prevalence of the disease. Classically affected hemizygous males, with no residual α-galactosidase A activity may display all the characteris...
متن کاملPodocyturia in Fabry disease.
INTRODUCTION Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disorder due to abnormalities in the GLA gene (Xq22). Such changes result in the reduction/absence of activity of the lysosome enzyme α-GAL, whose function is to metabolize globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Renal disease is a major clinical outcome of the accumulation of Gb3. Podocyte injury is thought to be a major contributor to the progressive los...
متن کاملFabry disease.
More than a hundred years ago, in 1898, two dermatologists, William Anderson in England and Johannes Fabry in Germany, independently reported on patients with multiple angiokeratomas as well as some other symptoms. Today, the disease is called Anderson-Fabry or only Fabry disease, or angiokeratoma corporis diffusum, the latter being more often found in dermatologic literature. Fabry disease is ...
