pubmed:abstractText |
Anderson-Fabry disease is a rare inborn X-linked glycosphingolipid storage disorder in which the deficient activity of the enzyme alfa-galactosidase A (alfa-gal A) leads to the progressive tissular accumulation of lipidic molecules which, in turn, cause a protean pattern of multi-organ disfunction. Enzyme replacement therapy has recently become available and has proved to be effective in controlling the disorder. We present and discuss the case of a family with this disease, with special attention to the variability of clinical features and the difficulty of a correct diagnosis.
