Anderson-Fabry disease: extrarenal, neurologic manifestations.
The advent of enzyme replacement therapy for AndersonFabry disease (AFD) adds impetus for the early detection of patients with this inherited multiorgan lipid storage disease. The resultant accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids, especially globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), in various cell types promotes development of disease-related complications associated with renal, cardiovascular, and cere...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for Anderson-Fabry disease.
BACKGROUND Anderson-Fabry disease is an X-linked defect of glycosphingolipid metabolism. Progressive renal insufficiency is a major source of morbidity, additional complications result from cardio- and cerebro-vascular involvement. Survival is reduced among affected males and symptomatic female carriers. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of enzyme replacement therapy compare...

متن کاملAnderson-Fabry disease: enzyme replacement therapy.
Sir, Anderson-Fabry disease is a metabolic lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme a-galactosidase A and inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. The progressive accumulation of glycosphingolipids (globotriaosylceramide, GB3) in blood, vessels and cells from several organs and tissues causes significant multi-systemic damage in homozygous males and in carrier females. Fo...
متن کاملAnderson-Fabry disease: a cardiomyopathy that can be cured.
A nderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is a hereditarily transmitted (with Xlinked transmission and locus on chromosome Xq22) lysosomal metabolic disorder. It should be noted that AFD follows X-linked dominant rather than recessive transmission, as is indicated by the fact that the prevalence of cardiac involvement in heterozygote females is high and might be as high as in males. It is a lysosomal stora...
