La enfermedad de Fabry o también llamada de Anderson-Fabry (EF) es una enfermedad rara, causada por variantes patogénicas en el gen GLA, localizado en el cromosoma X. Este gen interviene en el metabolismo de los glucoesfingolípidos y variantes patogénicas en el mismo causan déficit o ausencia de la α-galactosidasa A, ocasionando el depósito de globotriaosilceramida en todo el organismo. Las mujeres presentan una expresión fenotípica variable y de mejor pronóstico que los varones. Esto es debido al fenómeno de inactivación del cromosoma X. Presentamos un caso clínico de enfermedad de Fabry en una mujer con afectación predominantemente renal y demostramos cómo el fenómeno de la inactivación del cromosoma X es tejido dependiente, mostrando una inactivación preferencial del alelo mutado a nivel renal. Fabry disease or also called Anderson–Fabry disease (FD) is a rare disease caused by pathogenic variants in the GLA gene, located on the X chromosome. This gene is involved in the metabolism of glycosphingolipids and its pathogenic variants cause a deficit or absence of α-galactosidase A causing the deposition of globotriaosylceramide throughout the body. Females have a variable phenotypic expression and a better prognosis than males. This is due to the X chromosome inactivation phenomenon. We present a clinical case of Fabry disease in a female with predominantly renal involvement and demonstrate how the X chromosome inactivation phenomenon is tissue dependent, showing preferential inactivation of the mutated allele at the renal level.
