A case of Fabry's disease is reported. The findings of the corneal alterations with the light microscope as well as with the electron microscope are described. The diffuse corneal haziness seems to be due to small intracellular osmiophilic inclusions of the epithelium. There seems also to be a relation between the giant inclusions in the corneal epithelium, not yet described, and the clinical presence of punctiform grey opacities. The pathogenesis of the whorl-like opacities remains unsolved.

Background: Recent studies have also shown that clinical monitoring of quality of life (HRQoL) helps to recognize kidney transplant failure at an early stage.

Objectives: Given the potential of improving HRQoL for the long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation, we conducted a rapid review of the last 5 years of quality of life evaluation after adult allogeneic kidney transplantation.

Materials And Methods: A rapid evidence analysis was carried out using a literature search in MEDLINE in the period 2019-2024.

Fabry disease (FD) is a systemic disease in which globotriaosylceramide and other naturally occurring glycosphingolipid accumulate in various tissues throughout the body due to mutation of α-galactosidase A (GLA). These induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from a 10-year-old male patient's urine carrying the GLA c.1080_1082del Fabry disease mutation.
