Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Most acquired neuropathies are treatable, whereas genetic neuropathies respond to treatment in Fabry\'s disease (FD), transthyretin-related familial amyloidosis (TTR-FA), and Pompe\'s disease (PD). This review summarizes and discusses recent findings and future perspectives concerning etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of neuropathy in FD, TTR-FA, and PD.
METHODS: Literature review.
RESULTS: Neuropathy in FD concerns particularly small, unmyelinated, or myelinated sensory fibers (small fiber neuropathy [SFN]) and autonomic fibers, manifesting as acroparesthesias, Fabry\'s crises, or autonomous disturbances. FD neuropathy benefits from agalsidase alpha (0.2 mg/kg every second week intravenously) or from beta (1.0 mg/kg every second week intravenously). Neuropathy in TTR-FA is axonal and affects large and small sensory, motor, and autonomous fibers. Neuropathy in TTR-FA profits from liver transplantation and the TTR kinetic stabilizer tafamidis (20 mg/d). Neuropathy in PD particularly occurs in late-onset PD and manifests as mononeuropathy, polyneuropathy, or SFN. PD neuropathy presumably responds to alglucosidase-alpha (20 mg/kg every second week intravenously).
CONCLUSIONS: Neuropathy in FD, TTR-FA, and PD is predominantly a SFN and can be the dominant feature in FD and TTR-FA. SFN in FD, TTR-FA, and PD needs to be recognized and benefits from enzyme replacement treatment or TT-kinetic stabilizers.
