Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Fabry's disease include the GLA gene, which codes the important enzyme of alpha-galactosidase. The absence or lack of this enzyme causes Gb3 accumulation in different organs.

Overview
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Fabry's disease include the GLA gene, which codes the important enzyme of alpha-galactosidase. The absence or lack of this enzyme causes Gb3 accumulation in different organs. The main pathological finding is detection of these inclusion in different cells with electron microscopies.
Pathophysiology
Physiology
- GLA gene codes information for the alpha-galactosidase enzyme.
- The normal function of the alpha-galactosidase enzyme is to breakdown globotriaosylceramide (also abbreviated as Gb3, GL-3, or ceramide trihexoside) into glucocerebroside in lysosomes.
- Gb3 is produced in the catabolism pathway of Globoside, an essential glycosphingolipid in the cell membrane (RBCs and Kidney), that is mainly metabolized in the lysosome of the spleen, liver , and bone marrow.[1]
Pathogenesis
- Fabry disease is caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase.
- Mutations to the GLA gene encoding α-GAL may result in a complete loss of function of the enzyme.
- Alpha-galactosidase is a lysosomal protein responsible for breaking down globotriaosylceramide(Gb3) a fatty substance stored in various types of cardiac and renal cells.[2]
- Improper catabolism causes globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) to accumulate in cells lining blood vessels in the skin, kidney, heart, and nervous system. As a result, signs, and symptoms of Fabry diseasseven begin to manifest.[3]
- Accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in different tissues leads to cellular death, compromised energy metabolism, small vessel injury, potassium-calcium channel dysfunction in the endothelial cells, oxidative stress,impaired autophagosome maturation, tissue ischemia, irreversible cardiac and renal tissue fibrosis.[4]
Genetics
- Fabry's disease follows an X-linked inheritance pattern.
- Since it is inherited in an X-linked pattern, males are homozygous and pass the disease to all daughters but no sons.
- Females are heterozygous with 50% chance of passing the mutated gene to both daughters and sons.[5]
- Skewed nonrandom X chromosome inactivation may cause paradoxical nature of the disease that is seen in females,; they have a varied presentation from being asymptomatic to having very severe symptoms and having a presentation similar to that seen in males with the classical type.[6]
- Gene function: GLA gene encodes information for alpha-Gal-A.
- Gene location: GLA has its locus located on the Longarm of chromosome X in position Xq22. It has seven exons distributed over 1290 base pairs of coding part. [7][8]
- Demonstrates extensive allelic heterogeneity but no genetic locus heterogeneity.[9]
- 585 mutations have so far been recorded for Fabry's disease.[10]
- Mutations demonstrated include Missense, Non-sense point mutations,splicing mutations, small deletion/Insertion, and large deletions.[11]
Gross pathology
- The most important characteristics of Fabry's disease on gross pathology are:
- Kidney
- Kidney enlargement
- Renal cysts of cortical and parapelvic
- Decreased cortical thickness[12]
- Heart
- Four chamber cardiomegaly( frequently LVH with interventricular septum hypertrophy)[13]
- Eye
- Conjunctiva
- Ampullary and saccular aneurysms of small venules
- Thrombosis[14]
- Retina
- Segmental dilatation and tortuosity of venules and arteries
- Whorl-like corneal dystrophic pattern[15]
- Conjunctiva
- Nervous system
- Central nervous system
- White matter lesion [16]
- Central nervous system
- Kidney
Microscopic pathology
General
On microscopic histopathological analysis, tissue deposition of glycosphingolipids crystalline is a characteristic finding of Fabry's disease.
- Glycosphingolipid inclusions morphology: coarsely lamellated appearance, maybe round with onion-skin likes structure (Myelin figures), or dense unstructured layer (Zebra bodies), some can be dark electrodense and amorphous especially in endothelial and mesangial cells.[17]
- Electron Microscopy: The most accurate method for detection of glycosphingolipids depositions. preserved whole glycosphingolipids during the preparation process.[18]
- Light microscopy is not as specific in confirming FD as electron microscopy and thus is only done when electron microscopy is unavailable.
