Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of Fabry Disease (FD) among a cohort of high risk patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) presenting at the University Hospital Würzburg over the last 20 years. Fabry disease is a rare disease that is known to be consistently underdiagnosed due to its largely variable symptoms. Considering that an early Fabry diagnosis is crucial for maximum benefit from therapies available, screening for Fabry patients can contribute to preventing development and worsening of symptoms in Fabry patients with LVH. In addition, a positive diagnosis in a family member opens the possibility to diagnose further family members in an earlier stage of the disease, therefore allowing treatment of symptoms and organ manifestations before they become irreversible.
The purpose of this study is to identify genetic, biochemical, and clinical factors that are associated with disease severity in people with Gaucher disease and other lysosomal storage disorders. There is a vast spectrum of clinical manifestations in people with Gaucher disease as well as other lysosomal storage disorders. This study will evaluate patients with lysosomal disorders on an outpatient or inpatient basis in order to better characterize the clinical, genetic, and pathophysiological features of these disorders. Participants will be re-evaluated on an annual basis....
