==Overview==
==[[Fabry's disease overview|Overview]] ==
'''Fabry disease''' is an [[X-linked recessive]] inherited [[lysosomal storage disease]], characterized by abnormal accumulation of ceramide trihexose in cardiovascular and renal systems.


==Historical Perspective==
*
It is named for Johannes Fabry.<ref>{{WhoNamedIt|synd|1761}}</ref>
*


==Classification==
==[[Fabry's disease historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
*Non-neuropathic form
*Neuropathic form
**Infantile form
**Juvenile form


==Pathophysiology==
==[[Fabry's disease classification|Classification]]==
*Fabry's disease follows an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern.
*A deficiency of the [[enzyme]] [[alpha galactosidase|alpha galactosidase A]] causes a [[glycolipid]] known as globotriaosylceramide (also abbreviated as Gb3, GL-3, or ceramide trihexoside) to accumulate within the [[blood vessel]]s, mononuclear phagocytes, neurons, other tissues, and organs.
*This accumulation leads to an impairment of their proper function. The condition affects [[Zygosity|hemizygous]] males, as well as both [[Zygosity|heterozygous]] and [[Zygosity|homozygous]] females; males tend to experience the most severe clinical symptoms, while females vary from virtually no symptoms to those as serious as males.
*This variability is thought to be due to [[X-inactivation]] patterns during embryonic development of the female.


==Epidemiology and Demographics==
==[[Fabry's disease pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
The prevalence of Fabry disease is estimated to range from 1:17,000 to 1:117,000 males in Caucasian populations.<ref name="pmid11889412">{{cite journal |author=Branton MH, Schiffmann R, Sabnis SG, ''et al.'' |title=Natural history of Fabry renal disease: influence of alpha-galactosidase A activity and genetic mutations on clinical course |journal=[[Medicine]] |volume=81 |issue=2 |pages=122–38 |year=2002 |month=March |pmid=11889412 |doi= |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid9918480">{{cite journal |author=Meikle PJ, Hopwood JJ, Clague AE, Carey WF |title=Prevalence of lysosomal storage disorders |journal=[[JAMA : the Journal of the American Medical Association]] |volume=281 |issue=3 |pages=249–54 |year=1999 |month=January |pmid=9918480 |doi= |url=}}</ref>

==Diagnosis==
==Diagnosis==
===Symptoms===
*Lack of sweating ([[anhidrosis]]) or decreased sweating
*[[fatigue (medical)|Fatigue]]
*Red spots on skin ([[angiokeratoma]]s): tiny, painless [[papules]] that appear at any region of the body, but are predominant on the thighs, buttocks, lower abdomen, and groin.
*Burning pain of the extremities. This pain can become very intense, especially when one has a fever.
*[[Loss of vision]] or blurry vision from corneal opacities.
*[[Abdominal pain]]
*[[Chest pain]] and [[palpitations]]
*[[Delayed puberty]]
*[[Pyrexia of unknown origin]]
*[[cyanosis]] of extremities on exposure to cold ([[Raynaud's phenomenon]])
*[[Hearing loss]]
*[[Loss of sensations]] in extremities
*[[Telangiectasis]]


==Treatment==
==Treatment==
Until recently, treatment of Fabry disease targeted the [[symptomatic]] effects.  However, it is currently being treated at the cellular level through enzyme replacement therapy using [[Agalsidase alpha]] (Replagal) and [[Agalsidase beta]] (Fabrazyme®).  The cost of these drugs is problematic (approximately $170,000 US a year/patient) and remains a barrier to many patients in some countries. Enzyme replacement therapy (typically infused every two weeks) may be performed in the patient's home by the patients themselves. Enzyme replacement therapy is not a cure, and must be infused recurrently for maximum benefit.
