Fabry disease, an X-linked lysosomal storage disease, results from α-galactosidase A deficiency. Two different recombinant enzyme treatments (algalsidase alpha agalsidase beta) have been available since 2001 to treat a disease that affects not only men but also women. Enzyme replacement therapy promotes cell clearance of susbtrate, and improves some clinical parameters (heart, kidney damage, pain, quality of life). However, there is no proven efficacy to date on central nervous system lesions, on cardiac morbidity and mortality, nor on renal damage beyond a certain stage (proteinuria>1g/day and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate<60mL/min/1.73m(2)). In this review, we discuss the potential benefit of an early intervention, the vascular protective measures to be associated with enzyme therapy and their rationale, and some alternative treatments under development, such as chaperones and substrate molecules inhibitors.
