This program is supported by educational grants from Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. and Chiesi USA Inc.Fabry disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the GLA gene, disrupting the function of the enzyme, α-galactosidase. This results in the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) and its deacylated form, globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-GL-3), leading to progressive disruption of multiple organ systems. There are currently three treatment options available for Fabry disease, including two enzyme replacement therapies, agalsidase beta and pegunigalsidase alfa, and a chaperone therapy, migalastat. There are also other treatments in development (e.g., gene therapy, other enzyme replacement therapies) and some that are available in other countries (e.g., agalsidase alfa). Due to the small patient population and variability in Fabry disease severity, it is challenging to develop properly powered, placebo-controlled clinical trials. As such, data shared at conferences like WORLDSymposium 2025 are crucial for guiding best practices in this disease area. This program, led by Dr. Eric Wallace, provides a summary of clinically relevant data presented at WORLDSymposium 2025 that can enhance the care of patients with Fabry disease.  Target AudienceThis activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians specializing in neurology, nephrology, cardiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and dermatology. Other members of the care team may also participate.Learning ObjectivesAfter participating in the activity, learners should be better able to: Describe the latest research being presented to better manage individuals with Fabry disease and its clinical relevance.Eric Wallace, MDProfessor of MedicineDepartment of NephrologyUniversity of Alabama Medical SchoolDisclosure StatementAccording to the disclosure policy of the Academy, all faculty, planning committee members, editors, managers and other individuals who are in a position to control content are required to disclose any relationships with any ineligible company(ies).

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare condition often due to reduced levels C1-inhibitor, which is a protein involved in various physiological processes in plasma, most notably with the complement system. C1-inhibitor also binds and inhibits plasma kallikrein and factor XIa, thereby affecting bradykinin production. It is believed that the disruptions of these processes cause fluid to leak from the blood to connective tissue, leading to HAE attacks. Owing to its rarity, HAE is often poorly recognized, leading to misdiagnoses and significant diagnostic delays. Being aware of the early signs and symptoms of this condition can lead to faster diagnosis and the use of effective therapies.This program is supported by independent medical education grants from Takeda. To earn CME credit please visit https://checkrare.com/learning/p-consider-rare-suspecting-and-diagnosing-hereditary-angioedema/lessons/consider-rare-suspecting-and-diagnosing-hereditary-angioedema-module/  Target AudienceThis activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians specializing in primary care, pediatrics, emergency care, otolaryngology, gastroenterology, and dermatology .Other members of the care team may also participate.Learning ObjectivesAfter participating in the activity, learners should be better able to:- Describe the early symptoms of HAE and its clinical relevance.- Apply best practices to diagnose HAE more efficiently to reduce diagnostic delays. Faculty Jonathan A Bernstein, MDProfessor of MedicineUniversity of Cincinnati Department of Internal MedicineDivision of Immunology, Allergy SectionPartner Advanced Allergy Services, LLCPartner Bernstein Clinical Research Center Disclosure StatementAccording to the disclosure policy of the Academy, all faculty, planning committee members, editors, managers and other individuals who are in a position to control content are required to disclose any relationships with any ineligible company(ies).
