Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the frequency of Fabry disease in children with early symptoms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Fabry disease is a complex, multisystemic and clinically heterogeneous disease that commonly presents in childhood and is caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidaseA (α-gal A). Symptoms of Fabry disease in the pediatric population are well described. Symptoms can occur in early childhood, before age 5 years. Incidence estimations of Fabry disease vary widely. The true incidence is likely to be higher than originally thought, owing to the existence of milder variants of the disease. The purpose of this study is to assess the frequency of Fabry disease in children with early symptoms. Patients would benefit from early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, follow-up and surveillance. Early detection of Fabry patients would also benefit affected relatives, many of whom do not have a clear diagnosis of their clinical condition.

Screening for Fabry disease

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A questionnaire specifically designed to assess Fabry disease-associated phenotypes in infancy, childhood and adolescence: pain in the hands and feet, angiokeratomas, hypohidrosis, corneal whorls, unexplained renal failure, unexplained hypertrophic myocardiopathy and unexplained early onset stroke. The questionnaire consisted mainly of quantitative, closed questions with pre- defined response options.The diagnosis of FD will be performed by standard procedures following international recommendations. These require the search for a deficiency of alphagalactosidase A activity on leucocytes in males and genetic analysis of the GLA gene in females (Germain et al. 2010). In females plasma Gb3, globotriaosyl- sphingosine (lyso-Gb3) will be measured for screening.
