The screening of Icelandic patients clinically diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy resulted in identification of 8 individuals from 2 families with X-linked Fabry disease (FD) caused by (α-galactosidase A gene) mutations encoding p.D322E (family A) or p.I232T (family B).
Familial screening of at-risk relatives identified mutations in 16 family A members (8 men and 8 heterozygotes) and 25 family B members (10 men and 15 heterozygotes). Clinical assessments, α-galactosidase A (α-GalA) activities, glycosphingolipid substrate levels, and in vitro mutation expression were used to categorize p.D322E as a classic FD mutation and p.I232T as a later-onset FD mutation. In vitro expression revealed that p.D322E and p.I232T had α-GalA activities of 1.4% and 14.9% of the mean wild-type activity, respectively. Family A men had markedly decreased α-GalA activity and childhood-onset classic manifestations, except for angiokeratoma and cornea verticillata. Family B men had residual α-GalA activity and developed FD manifestations in adulthood. Despite these differences, all family A and family B men >30 years of age had left ventricular hypertrophy, which was mainly asymmetrical, and had similar late gadolinium enhancement patterns. Ischemic stroke and severe white matter lesions were more frequent among family A men, but neither family A nor family B men had overt renal disease. Family A and family B heterozygotes had less severe or no clinical manifestations.
Men with classic or later-onset FD caused by missense mutations developed prominent and similar cardiovascular disease at similar ages, despite markedly different α-GalA activities.
对临床诊断为肥厚型心肌病的冰岛患者进行筛查,结果从2个家族中鉴定出8名患有X连锁法布里病(FD)的个体,这些患者由编码p.D322E(A家族)或p.I232T(B家族)的(α - 半乳糖苷酶A基因)突变引起。
对有风险的亲属进行家族筛查,在16名A家族成员(8名男性和8名杂合子)和25名B家族成员(10名男性和15名杂合子)中发现了突变。通过临床评估、α - 半乳糖苷酶A(α - GalA)活性、糖鞘脂底物水平以及体外突变表达,将p.D322E归类为经典FD突变,p.I232T归类为迟发性FD突变。体外表达显示,p.D322E和p.I232T的α - GalA活性分别为野生型平均活性的1.4%和14.9%。A家族男性的α - GalA活性显著降低,且有儿童期起病的经典表现,但无血管角质瘤和涡状角膜病变。B家族男性有残余的α - GalA活性,并在成年期出现FD表现。尽管存在这些差异,但所有年龄大于30岁的A家族和B家族男性均有左心室肥厚,主要为不对称性,且晚期钆增强模式相似。缺血性卒中和严重白质病变在A家族男性中更为常见,但A家族和B家族男性均无明显肾病。A家族和B家族杂合子的临床表现较轻或无临床表现。
由错义突变引起的经典型或迟发性FD男性,尽管α - GalA活性明显不同,但在相似年龄出现显著且相似的心血管疾病。
