Fabry’s Disease and Dysferlinopathy: co-occurence of two rare genetic disorders

Abstract

Fabry’s Disease (FD) is a rare X-linked inherited disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism due to absent or deficient activity of α-galactosidase A (GLA) enzyme that can present with multisystemic involvement, including painful small fiber neuropathy. Dysferlinopathy is a heterogeneous spectrum of neuromuscular disorders inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. In this report, we present a case of co-occurrence of these two rare genetic disorders
