and explain the role of nephrologists in the early identification of patients
• Describe high risk patients as target of screening, including hereditary aspect of Fabry disease
• Discuss methods of testing for Fabry disease and those currently available
• Discuss treatment strategies in kidney disease patients with Fabry disease, including symptom management and addressing the underlying pathology, to improve patient outcomes
Pathogenesis of Fabry Disease
Fabry Disease• An X-linked lipid storage disorder• Deficient or absent lysosomal α-galactosidase A
(α-gal A) activity systemic deposition of glycosphingolipids [mainly globotriaosylceramide (Gb3 or GL3)]
• Affects the heart, kidney, and neurologic systems, but can impact all organs
• Is considered a genetic risk factor for kidney disease, cardiomyopathy, stroke, and early death
Epidemiology• Fabry disease is pan-ethnic, but due to its rarity,
determining an accurate disease frequency is difficult
• Reported incidence: 1/47,600 to 1/117,000 in the general population, but the true prevalence is probably much higher
• Newborn screening: – 1/~3,100 newborns in Italy– 1/~1,500 newborns in Taiwan (86% with cardiac variant)
Etiology
a-Galactosidase A deficiencyAccumulation of GL3 in cells starts in-utero
Etiology
• Currently 790 GLA mutations are recorded (HGMD), ~70% of which are missense/nonsense mutations. The rest are splicing mutations, regulatory mutations, small deletions or insertions, large deletions or insertions, or complex mutations
• The majority of these mutations make the enzyme completely or partially non-functional
• Non pathological single nucleotide polymorphisms and other sequence variations (VNTR) have been describedHuman Gene Mutation Database (HGMD). http://www.hgmd.cf.ac.uk/ac/index.php
Genotype/Phenotype Correlations• High degree of clinical variability both among patients
from the same family and among those from unrelated families with the same mutation
• Many of the clinical features of Fabry disease are frequently observed in the general population, such as neuropathic and abdominal pain, headache, tinnitus, hearing loss, diarrhea and cardiovascular disease (Fabry disease as a risk factor for commonly encountered pathology)1
• Genetic and environmental modifiers of the phenotype
• X-chromosome inactivation impacts the phenotype and natural history of Fabry Disease in females21. Germain D. Fabry disease. Orphanet J

Evaluation of Fabry Disease
Clinical Manifestations of Fabry Disease• Skin lesions (angiokeratomas)• Pain and burning in the hands and feet
(acroparaesthesia)• Fatigue, impaired sweating• Gastrointestinal problems (e.g., diarrhea,
constipation, nausea, and vomiting)• Corneal opacities that progress to a
characteristic “whorled” pattern
• Dark red/purple lesions, not blanchable
• Buttocks, groin, umbilicus, and upper thighs
• Adolescence or young adulthood
• All ‘classic male’ hemizygotes; 30% of heterozygous females
• Biopsy shows dilated capillaries and parakeratosis (dry scaly skin) and endothelial inclusions
Angiokeratomas

• Whorled” or “spoke-like” pattern: cornea verticillata
• Almost all hemizygotes males and 70% of heterozygous females. Present very early in life
• Do not impair vision
• Typical Conjunctival Involvement

When to Consider Fabry Disease as a DiagnosisTest ANY patient who has:• A family history of Fabry disease OR• Corneal verticillata (“whorls”) on slit lamp
exam
Laney DA, Bennett RL, Clarke V, et al. J Genet Counsel. 2013;22:555-564
In the absence of these two factors, test patients with at least two of the following features:
• Decreased sweating (anhidrosis or hypohidrosis)• Reddish-purple skin rash in the bathing trunk area
(angiokeratomas)• Personal and/or family history of kidney failure• Personal or family history of “burning” or “hot” pain in
the hands and feet, particularly during fevers (acroparesthesias)
• Personal or family history of exercise, heat, or cold intolerance
• Patients with sporadic or non-autosomal dominant (no male-to-male) transmission of unexplained cardiac hypertrophy

Laney DA, Bennett RL, Clarke V, et al. J Genet Counsel. 2013;22:555-564
Fabry Testing Roadmap
Does the patient have clinical features, medical history, laboratory evidence, or family history suggestive of Fabry Disease?
Male Patient Female Patient
Order α-galactosidase A enzyme assay of patient ‘s leukocytes
Does the patient have a known family history of Fabry Disease with
identified GLA mutation?
YesThe patient has α-gal A activity within normal
range
The patient has deficient α-gal A
activity
The patient is unaffected by Fabry disease
The patient is affected by Fabry
disease
Order GLA gene sequencing with reflex testing to GLA
duplication/ deletion testing
Targeted sequencing for family mutation
Was a disease causing mutation identified?
Yes
No*
No
*Standard sequencing of GLA will not detect large deletions, large duplications, some intronic mutations, and mutations in the promoter or other regulatory regions. Results must be interpreted in the context of an individual's clinical and/or biochemical profile. Laney DA, Bennett RL, Clarke V, et al. J Genet Counsel.

Newborn Screening • Earlier diagnosis promotes timely
interventions and the potential to slow the progression of complications such as kidney failure
• Newborn screening is detecting a large number of milder mutations, many of unknown clinical significance
Nephrology and Early Identification of Patients• Nephrologists rarely make the diagnosis of
Fabry disease other than through surprise findings on kidney biopsy
• Undiagnosed Fabry disease patients are typically referred to nephrologists for evaluation of proteinuria and/or decreased GFR
• Nephrologists can play a role in early detection, which can present the opportunity to initiate appropriate and timely interventions
Natural History of Fabry Renal Disease• Proteinuria is usually the first manifestation. Its earliest
appearance is ~14 years of age. Its peak onset is in the 40s• Age of chronic renal insufficiency: 42 (19-54)• Kidney failure develops in most males, usually ~10 years after
the onset of proteinuria, and 4±3 years from onset of CKD 3• Kidney failure can occur as early as 21 years of age, and with
the peak incidence in the 50s• More recent registry data found males and females with
preserved renal function into their late sixties

Once Kidney Dysfunction is Detectable, it Tends to be Progressive
Branton et al. Medicine. 2002;81:122-138.
Effect of Proteinuria on eGFR in Untreated Adults
Data from the Fabry Registry for 462 untreated adults (121 men and 341 women) who had at least two estimated GFR (eGFR) values over a span of ≥12 months
Wanner, et al. Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2010;5:2220-2228.
Assessment of Kidney Function• Regular assessments of kidney function in Fabry patients should include estimates of
the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), total protein and albumin excretion, and urinary sodium excretion
• Urinary protein and urinary albumin excretion, preferably as timed overnight urine collections
• If serum creatinine is significantly elevated, eGFRs may be adequate. If not, eGFRs are insensitive to early decline and may be better followed by annual or semi-annual measured GFR (e.g,. iohexol clearance)
• Biopsy studies have shown that glomerular and vascular changes are present before progression to proteinuria

Fabry Disease Management
Management: Multi-disciplinary Approach• Nephrologist• Neurologist• Cardiologist• Geneticist• Pain management• Pediatrician• Psychologist/Psychiatrist• Dermatologist• Ophthalmologist
Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT)• Replacement of the deficient/defective
enzyme alpha-galactosidase • Two different formulations are available:– Agalsidase alpha (Approved in Europe,
not FDA approved)– Agalsidase beta (FDA approved)
Agalsidase Beta • Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line• 1 mg/kg infusion over several hours every two
weeks• Premedication • Infusion center followed by home• Life long• Monitor GL3 and antibodies
Ten-Year Outcome of Enzyme Replacement Therapy With Agalsidase Beta in Patients With Fabry DiseaseBackground:• Analysis of long-term outcomes (median 10 yrs) of patients
with classic Fabry disease from the Agalsidase Beta phase 3 clinical trial
• First study to classify patients according to their baseline renal involvement (% glomerulosclerosis, UPCR)
Methods:• The outcomes (severe clinical events, renal function, cardiac
structure) of 52/58 patients with classic Fabry disease from the phase 3 clinical trial and extension study, and the Fabry Registry were evaluated
• Disease progression rates for patients with low renal involvement (LRI, n=32) or high renal involvement (HRI, n=20) at baseline were assessed

Conclusions and Take Away Points• After 10-years of Fabrazyme treatment (1mg/kg/2wks) in
classic Fabry disease:−94% of the patients were alive−81% of the patients remained event-free
• Long-term treatment decreased the occurrence of severe clinical events
• Earlier treatment initiation supports most favorable treatment responses:−Younger patients −Less organ damage

Instituting Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) in Fabry Disease Patients
Fabry Population
Guideline for Instituting ERT
Adult males (>16 y)
At time of diagnosis of Fabry disease
Pediatric males At time of development of significant symptoms, orIf asymptomatic, consider at 10-13 yr
Females (all ages) Monitor; institute if significant symptoms, orevidence of progression of organ involvement
Eng C, et al. Genet Med. 2006;8:539-548.
Fabry Population US Consensus panel recommendationsSymptomatic male or female pediatric patient
Treatment with ERT should be considered and is appropriate if Fabry symptoms are present in boys or girls at any age
Signs and symptoms warranting treatment suggest major organ involvement:
• Neuropathic pain crises/Fabry neuropathy• Renal disease (decline in eGFR, pathological albuminuria or
pathological proteinuria, creatinine elevation, cellular GL-3 accumulation or evidence of tissue damage such as podocyte effacement on renal biopsy)
• Cardiac disease (cardiomyopathy or arrhythmia (including sinus bradycardia) attributable to FD)
• Recurrent abdominal pain and diarrhea (excluding alternative causes)
• Exercise intolerance and impaired sweatingAsymptomatic male patients with classical (severe) mutations
Timing of ERT depends on individual case (balancing risks and benefits of therapy)
Serious discussion regarding the timing of ERT initiation is recommended by age 8–10 years for boys with classical mutations
Asymptomatic female patients and asymptomatic male patients with late-onset mutations or variants of unknown significance
Decision to defer ERT should be based on comprehensive longitudinal monitoring for the development of clinical symptoms and signs of disease, as defined above Family history of the female patients should also be considered
Hopkin R, et al. Fabry Pediatric Expert Panel. Mol Genet Metab. 2016;117:104-113.
Initiating ERT in Pediatric Patients with Fabry Disease
CKD Management
• CKD MBD• CKD Anemia• Acid Base and Electrolytes• Nutritional Vitamin D • High Blood Pressure
Treatment of Proteinuria• ACEI or ARBs in combination with ERT have been
shown to decrease the rate of proteinuria• The overall treatment goal with ACEIs/ARBs, in
combination with ERT, is reduction of urinary protein excretion to less than 500 mg/day, and stabilization of the decline of kidney function to –1 ml/min/1.73 m2/year. ERT alone, in the absence of ACEIs/ARBs does not decrease proteinuria in Fabry patients
• Based on recent studies, less than half of patients with Fabry are being treated with adequate dose of RAAS inhibitors
Warnock D, et al. J Med Genet. 2015;52:860-866.
ACEI, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor; ARB, Angiotensin II receptor blockers; RAAS, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
Renal Replacement Therapy• Dialysis
– Poorer survival overall– May still benefit from ERT which can be given with
dialysis• Transplant
– Preferred RRT modality– Living related donors– No benefit in other organs– Recurrence
RRT, renal replacement therapy
Schuller Y, et al. BMC Neurol. 2016;16:25
Pain Management• Pain is one the most important manifestations of Fabry
disease• It is mostly because of small fiber dysfunction• Different medications have been recommended for pain
management• Generally, studies agree upon starting the medication at low
dose, and evaluating tolerability and effectiveness after 2-3 weeks
• Analgesics are also an option, but NSAIDs generally are not considered effective, and can negatively impact kidney function
NSAID, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Pain Management• One study recommended carbamazepine alone or in combination
with pregabalin rather than gabapentin as the first line treatment
• A recent systemic review concluded that evidence of effectiveness has only been seen with carbamazepine, phenytoin and gabapentin– Although not supported by data from clinical trials, this study
favored gabapentin because of a better safety profile• SNRIs like venlafaxine, duloxetine have a black-box warning for
use in pediatric age group but are viable options for adult patients
• Tricyclic anti-depressants have potential concomitant and difficult side-effects in Fabry patients

Novel Treatments• Several treatments are being looked at for
Fabry disease.• Chaperones, Substrate Reduction Therapy
(SRT), stem cell transplant and gene therapy among others
• Pharmacological chaperones (PC), also known as small molecule ligands, substrate analog competitive inhibitors, or chemical chaperones, can bind and stabilize some mutant forms of a-Gal A in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Summary• Difficult to identify but easy to diagnose• Multisystem progressive disease• Multi-disciplinary approach• Supportive care• Whole family needs to be evaluated and
treated
