Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of the hydrolytic enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal-A).
It is characterized by progressive lysosomal accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and multisystem pathology, affecting the skin, nervous and cerebrovascular systems, kidneys, and heart.
Heterozygous females typically exhibit milder symptoms and a later age of onset than males.
Rarely, they may be relatively asymptomatic throughout a normal life span or may have symptoms as severe as those observed in males with the classic phenotype.
We report on a 17-year-old female in whom cornea verticillata was found during a routine ophthalmological examination but with no other clinical symptoms.
Leucocyte α-galactosidase activity was within the overlap range between Fabry heterozygotes and normal controls.
Sanger sequencing of the GLA gene failed to reveal any pathogenic variants.
Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) analysis revealed a deletion of exon 7.
Using a long-range PCR walking approach, we managed to identify the deletion breakpoints.
The deletion spans 1182 bp, with its 5′ end located within exon 6 of the GLA gene and its 3′ end located 612 bp downstream of exon 7.
This finding represents a novel deletion identified in the first reported Cypriot female carrier of Fabry disease.
