الوصف: | Fabry disease is an X-linked metabolic disorder due to a pathogenic mutation of the GLA gene. The accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) damages multiple organs, including the heart, kidney and nervous system, especially in classical type Fabry disease. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) using recombinant alpha-galactosidase A has been shown to remove Gb3 from organs and to improve the prognosis of Fabry disease. We herein report the case of a 67-year-old classical type Fabry patient who had been treated with ERT for 6 years and who continuously showed a high antibody titer against recombinant alpha-galactosidase A during therapy. A post-mortem examination was performed after sudden death. A histological examination revealed the massive accumulation of Gb3 in various organs, even after long term ERT. In addition to the typical pathological findings as reported in tissue biopsy samples, the serious accumulation of Gb3 in the cardiac conduction system and the endocrine system was detected. Since the start of ERT for this patient might be too late to improve organ damage and prognosis, ERT should be started before the appearance of major organ involvement for the effective elimination of Gb3 and changes in the therapeutic strategy might be considered if the patient shows a high antibody titer against recombinant alpha-galactosidase A. |
