EtiopathogenesisThis section has been translated automatically.
The clinical picture is very closely related to the angiokeratoma corporis diffusum (Fabry's disease) and differs only slightly in the enzymatic activity of the enzyme alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase from that of alpha-galactosidase. This disorder is caused by a mutation of the N-acetyl-alpha-galactosaminidase gene [NAGA] on 22q11.
Clinical featuresThis section has been translated automatically.
Clinically very variable picture from lack of clinic to lymphedema, hearing loss and cardiomegaly. Predominantly normal intelligence. Dermatologically conspicuous is the clinical picture due to the appearance of Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum.
