Fabry disease and multiple sclerosis misdiagnosis: the role of family history and neurological signs

2018

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by a galactosidase A (a-gal A) deficiency. Central nervous system involvement and chronic white matter lesions are observed in both FD and multiple sclerosis (MS), which can confound the differential diagnosis. We analyzed the GLA gene, which encodes a-gal A, in 86 patients with clinical and neuroradiological findings consistent with MS to determine whether they had FD. We identified four women initially diagnosed with MS who had GLA mutations associated with FD. Our results indicate that family history besides neurological findings should be evaluated in patients with an uncertain diagnosis of MS. Also the involv…
