Concurrent fabry disease and immunoglobulin a nephropathy: a case report.

Background: Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked, hereditary dysfunction of glycosphingolipid storage caused by mutations in the GLA gene encoding alpha-galactosidase A enzyme. In rare cases, FD may coexist with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). We describe a case of concurrent FD, IgAN, and dilated cardiomyopathy-causing mutations in the TTN and BAG3 genes, which has not been reported previously.
