Fourteen members of family P. and four members of family N. were clinico-biochemically examined. Among twelve adult children (19-32 years old) of family P. five sons manifested angiokeratotic skin lesions and other clinical signs of Fabry disease. Three of the probands had additional symptoms not generally found in Fabry disease. Biochemical studies including an enzyme assay, analysis of storage products and alpha-galactosidase multiple forms, allowed us to confirm the diagnosis of Fabry disease in four affected brothers and to establish the heterozygous status of their mother. The data of biochemical investigation of patient N. with atypical variant of Fabry disease are also presented. The patient N. with strong skin lesions had a high residual alpha-galactosidase activity and unusual composition of alpha-galactosidase multiple forms.
