Semen and male genital tract characteristics of patients with Fabry disease: the FERTIFABRY multicentre observational study
2019
Background
Fabry disease (FD) is a rare disorder caused by the deficient activity of α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A). This enzymatic deficit results in the cellular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL-3 or Gb3) and related glycosphingolipids in practically all organs and tissues in the body. The identification of deposits of Gb3 at the reproductive tract level suggests that this part of the body might be involved. We undertook this study to assess the impact of Fabry disease in male gonadal function.
