BACKGROUND: In Taiwan, DNA-based newborn screening showed a surprisingly high incidence (1/875 in males and 1/399 in females) of a cardiac Fabry mutation (IVS4 + 919G > A). However, the natural course, long-term treatment outcomes and suitable biomarkers for monitoring the therapeutic outcomes of these patients are largely unknown.
METHODS: Fabry disease (FD) patients who had received enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for more than 1 year were enrolled in this study from December 2008 to April 2013. Periodic echocardiography and serum globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) analysis were carried out. Before and after ERT, left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and serum lyso-Gb3 level were compared and the correlation between the change of LVMI and the change of serum lyso-Gb3 were also analyzed.
RESULTS: Thirty-six patients, in four patient groups, were enrolled: (1) 16 males with IVS4 + 919G > A mutation; (2) 7 females with IVS4 + 919G > A mutation; (3) 2 males with classical mutations; and (4) 11 females with classical mutations. The follow-up period was 13-46 months. There were significant LVMI reductions after ERT in all four groups after excluding confounding factors. However, interestingly, serum lyso-Gb3 decreased significantly in the early period after ERT in all groups, but increased gradually after an average of 11.1 months after ERT in late-onset male and female Fabry groups, even when their LVMI still decreased or remained stable. Furthermore, there was no correlation between the change of serum lyso-Gb3 and the change of LVMI in both classical and IVS4 + 919G > A FD patients.
CONCLUSION: Although lyso-Gb3 has a high diagnostic sensitivity in late-onset Fabry patients and has a good response to ERT during the early stages, it might not be a reliable marker for monitoring the long-term therapeutic outcomes of ERT for late-onset Fabry patients with the Chinese hotspot mutation (IVS4 + 919G > A).
