Abstract
Introduction
Fabry disease (FD, #OMIM 301 500) is an X-linked lysosomal disorder. Prior to the 2000s, it was considered a male-only disease. The emergence of two intravenous enzymotherapies (2001) and then of an oral chaperone molecule (2016) brought this rare disease into the spotlight. This work describes our cohort of patients with FD and aims to analyze the predominant classical and cardiac phenotypes (including the F113L variant).
Methods
In December 2022, we retrospectively analyzed all patients with FD managed within the lysosomal disease reference center. We describe and compare phenotypes before and after 2012.
Results
Our cohort included 107 patients (48 men-M, 59 women-F). The F113L variant accounted for 18% of cases, all in patients from Portugal. Before 2012, of the 45 patients followed (21M, 24F), 29 presented a classic form with acroparesthesia and cornea verticillata (64%) and 16 a predominantly cardiac form (36%), including 4 (1MH, 3F) with F113L variant. Eight patients died of cardiac complications (5M, 3F). After 2012, 62 new patients were included (27M, 35F), with 18 classic forms (29%) and 44 predominantly cardiac forms (71%). Of the 44 patients with a predominant cardiac form, 15 (9M, 6F) carried the F113L variant. Two men with the F113L allele had a severe form of the disease, requiring pacemaker implantation following cardiac arrest following complete atrioventricular block in one (aged 48), and registration for renal transplantation at age 64 in the other.
Conclusion
FD affects both men and women. The predominantly cardiac phenotype is now the most fequent. It is also observed in the majority of patients with the F113L variant. Extra-cardiac involvement is possible and should be investigated if this variant is detected.
期刊介绍:
Official journal of the SNFMI, La revue de medecine interne is indexed in the most prestigious databases. It is the most efficient French language journal available for internal medicine specialists who want to expand their knowledge and skills beyond their own discipline. It is also the main French language international medium for French research works. The journal publishes each month editorials, original articles, review articles, short communications, etc. These articles address the fundamental and innumerable facets of internal medicine, spanning all medical specialties. Manuscripts may be submitted in French or in English.
La revue de medecine interne also includes additional issues publishing the proceedings of the two annual French meetings of internal medicine (June and December), as well as thematic issues.
