Prevalence of Fabry disease in patients with chronic kidney disease : A systematic review and meta-analysis

Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc..

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by pathogenic variants in the GLA gene. It has a wide range of clinical manifestations, typically related to the specific underlying GLA variant. One of the main features of FD is kidney involvement; therefore, several studies have addressed the prevalence of FD in all types of patients with chronic kidney disease. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of screening studies in chronic kidney disease patients, including those on dialysis, had undergone a kidney transplantation, and those who did not receive kidney replacement therapy, and assessed the prevalence of pathogenic variants in these cohorts. Fifty-five studies were included, involving a total of 84,062 individuals. Of these, 251 cases were positive for FD; a third of the reported GLA variants were of a benign phenotype (37.8%), followed by classical phenotype (31.7%), late onset (15.5%), and of uncertain significance (14.7%). The overall prevalence among dialysis patients was 0.10% (CI95%, 0.06-0.15), 0.28% (CI95%, 0.06-0.15) among patients with kidney transplantation, and 0.17% (CI95%, 0.11-0.39) among those without kidney replacement therapy. Although the overall prevalence of FD is low in patients with kidney involvement, screening, especially in patients who have not yet undergone kidney replacement therapy, is important, in order to provide timely and effective treatment interventions, including disease modifying therapies. The prevalence of kidney involvement in females with Fabry Disease is lower but this should not lead to inadequate follow up. Further research is also needed on the impact of genetic variants of uncertain significance to elucidate their role in Fabry disease.
