dc.description.abstractPurpose Fabry disease (FD) is characterized by a deficiency in alpha-galactosidase A activity that leads to the cumulative deposition of unmetabolized glycosphingolipids within organs, including the vascular endothelium and the eyes. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of FD on the retinal microvasculature, foveal avascular zone (FAZ), macular thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). Methods Twenty-five patients (14 female and 11 male; mean age 33.16 +/- 11.44) with genetically verified FD were compared with 37 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (mean age 32.36 +/- 15.54). The vessel density (VD) values of the superficial and deep capillary plexuses (SCP and DCP), the area of the FAZ, the density of radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC), the macular thickness and the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness were measured by OCT-A examination. Results The patients showed significantly lower VD values than controls in the foveal regions of both SCP and the DCP (21.15 +/- 5.56 vs. 23.79 +/- 4.64 (p = 0.048), 37.92 +/- 6.78 vs. 41.11 +/- 5.59 (p = 0.048), respectively). The FAZ was significantly larger in the FD group than in the control group (0.3 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.24 +/- 0.08 (p = 0.011)). No significant difference was identified in measurements of RPC density, peripapillary RNFL thickness or macular thickness between the two groups (p > 0.05 for all). Conclusion Decreased VD and an enlarged foveal avascular area suggest possible changes in the retinal microvasculature of patients with FD. OCT-A can serve as a useful, noninvasive, quantitative tool for diagnosing FD and monitoring its progression.en_US
