Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Pregnant Women with Fabry Disease: A Case Series.

Fabry disease is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. There is uncertainty regarding the safety of enzyme replacement therapy during pregnancy. We describe the course and outcome of seven pregnancies in six patients with Fabry disease who continued or reinitiated enzyme replacement therapy during pregnancy.

Apical left ventricular hypertrophy and mid-ventricular obstruction in fabry disease.

We report the case of a rare cardiac presentation of Fabry disease. Although concentric left ventricular hypertrophy is a major cardiac finding in Fabry disease, there is no case report of dynamic obstruction at mid-left ventricular level. We describe a 59-year-old-woman suffering from a severe form of Fabry disease, mimicking an apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with mid-ventricular obstruction.
