Looking for Fabry, Finding More: LVH Screening Yields Unexpected Gaucher Diagnosis

FD was identified in 2% of patients with unexplained LVH, who were females. Enzyme-based screening followed by targeted genetic testing is a cost-effective strategy for FD detection. Early diagnosis is essential for prompt treatment and family counselling, underscoring the importance of routine FD screening in patients with LVH of unclear aetiology. Our findings support the use of targeted screening for Fabry disease in patients with LVH and systemic features, and highlight the potential to identify other lysosomal disorders in selected cases.

Abstract

FD was identified in 2% of patients with unexplained LVH, who were females. Enzyme-based screening followed by targeted genetic testing is a cost-effective strategy for FD detection. Early diagnosis is essential for prompt treatment and family counselling, underscoring the importance of routine FD screening in patients with LVH of unclear aetiology. Our findings support the use of targeted screening for Fabry disease in patients with LVH and systemic features, and highlight the potential to identify other lysosomal disorders in selected cases.
