Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There is accumulating evidence in the literature indicating a strong correlation between Fabry disease (FD) phenotypes and specific sequence variations in the Galactosidase Alpha (GLA) gene. Among them, the potential pathogenicity and clinical relevance of D313Y variation in patients with FD remain debated. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting D313Y as single occurring variant in the GLA gene and sought to evaluate (1) the prevalence of D313Y variation in different populations with or without clinical manifestations of FD, (2) the clinical FD phenotype in D313Y-positive patients, and (3) the proportion of D313Y-positive patients presenting abnormal laboratory findings (alpha-galactosidase-A deficiency or globotriaosylceramide accumulation). RESULTS Forty cohorts comprising 211 individuals with D313Y variation among 42,723 participants with available GLA gene-sequencing data were included. Patients highly suspected for FD had a higher prevalence of D313Y variation (4.9%, 95% CI 1.6%-9.9%; I2 = 95.5%) compared with the general population (0%, 95% CI 0%-0.1%; I2 = 1.9%; p = 0.004). The prevalence of D313Y variation was 0.6% (95% CI 0.3%-1%; I2 = 74.1%), 0.4% (95% CI 0.2%-0.7%; I2 = 0%), and 0.3% (95% CI 0.2%-0.4%; I2 = 0%) in patients presenting with neurologic, cardiac, or renal manifestations, respectively. D313Y was associated with a milder, late-onset FD phenotype, as indicated by the mean patient age of 51 years (95% CI 44-59; I2 = 94%) and the evidence of alpha-galactosidase A deficiency and globotriaosylceramide accumulation in 26.7% (95% CI 15.3%-40%; I2 = 34%) and 16.2% (95% CI 8%-26.4%; I2 = 35%) of cases, respectively. D313Y-positive patients displayed predominantly neurologic FD manifestations (58.1%, 95% CI 37.7%-77.1%; I2 = 78%), with central and peripheral nervous system (CNS/PNS) involvement noted in 28.2% (95% CI 15.4%-43.2%; I2 = 51%) and 28.5% (95% CI 17.8%-40.5%; I2 = 61%) of cases, respectively. DISCUSSION D313Y variation seems to correlate with an atypical, mild late-onset phenotype with predominantly neurologic FD manifestations. Monitoring for CNS/PNS involvement is thus paramount to identify D313Y-positive patients with latent or early-FD pathology, which may qualify for enzyme-replacement therapy or chaperone treatment.

Abstract
Background and aims Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by disease-associated variants in the alpha-galactosidase A gene (GLA). FD is a known cause of stroke in younger patients. There are limited data on prevalence of FD and stroke risk in unselected stroke patients. Methods A prospective nationwide study including 35 (78%) of all 45 stroke centers and all consecutive stroke patients admitted during three months. Clinical data were collected in the RES-Q database. FD was diagnosed using dried blood spots in a stepwise manner: in males—enzymatic activity, globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) quantification, if positive followed by GLA gene sequencing; and in females GLA sequencing followed by lyso-Gb3. Results 986 consecutive patients (54% men, mean age 70 years) were included. Observed stroke type was ischemic 79%, transient ischemic attack (TIA) 14%, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) 7%, subarachnoid hemorrhage 1% and cerebral venous thrombosis 0.1%. Two (0.2%, 95% CI 0.02–0.7) patients had a pathogenic variant associated with the classical FD phenotype (c.1235_1236delCT and p.G325S). Another fourteen (1.4%, 95% CI 0.08–2.4) patients had a variant of GLA gene considered benign (9 with p.D313Y, one p.A143T, one p.R118C, one p.V199A, one p.R30K and one p.R38G). The index stroke in two carriers of disease-associated variant was ischemic lacunar. In 14 carriers of GLA gene variants 11 strokes were ischemic, two TIA, and one ICH. Patients with positive as compared to negative GLA gene screening were younger (mean 60±SD, min, max, vs 70±SD, min, max, P = 0.02), otherwise there were no differences in other baseline variables. Conclusions The prevalence of FD in unselected adult patients with acute stroke is 0.2%. Both patients who had a pathogenic GLA gene variant were younger than 50 years. Our results support FD screening in patients that had a stroke event before 50 years of age.
