Anderson-Fabry disease is a glycosphingolipid storage disorder with an X-linked recessive inheritance. The alpha-galactosidase A deficiency leads to a progressive accumulation of globotriaosylceramide in the endothelium and tissue cells of various organs. The kidney, heart and brain are predominantly affected. Reports on endocrine function and fertility rates in patients with Anderson-Fabry disease are sparse. In the present study, we assessed ovarian, testicular and adrenal function in a cohort of patients with Anderson-Fabry disease. Plasma follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, estradiol, testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, somatotropin, insulin-like growth factor-I and serum cortisol were measured in 13 patients (six female and seven male), currently observed in an outpatient clinic. The profile revealed an undisturbed hormonal function and a normal fertility rate in both male and female Anderson-Fabry patients when compared with the corresponding Austrian population.
