Overview

Fabry's disease is a rare inherited genetic condition that leads to the α-galactosidase A enzyme deficiency in individuals. Fabry disease (or Anderson - Fabry disease) was first described separately by two physicians at the end of the 19th century. The feature and pathophysiology of the disease have been revealed through the years by various scientists.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • Fabry disease (or Anderson - Fabry disease) was first described separately by two physicians, Johannes Fabry in Germany and William Anderson in England, at the end of the 19th century.
  • In 1909, the neurological symptoms of the disease were described by Steiner and Voerner.
  • In 1925, the cardiac and ophthalmic complications and the possible hereditary feature of the disease were reported by Weicksel.
  • In 1947, systemic vascular involvement was demonstrated by Pompen et al. during Fabry's patients' autopsy.[2]
  • In 1953, the disease was recognized as a storage disease by Horbostel and Scriba.[3]
  • In 1963, Sweeley and Klionsky identified the aggregation of certain types of glycolipids in various cells of patients with Fabry's disease.[4]
  • In 1965, the nature of Fabry's disease was identified as the X-linked genetic disease by Opitz et al. for the first time.[5]
  • In 1970, the specific α-galactosidase A enzyme deficiency was recognized as a cause of the disease.[6]
  • In 2001, specific enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry's disease, namely Fabrazyme, was commercially introduced in Europe and in 2003 in the USA.[7]
