Presentation
All cases reported in the literature to date have presented with the above features, except for the neonatal-visceral subtype. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The classic phenotype presents at around 3-6 months of age with painful, swollen and stiff joints of the hands and feet, prominent subcutaneous nodules over pressure points, and progressive hoarseness leading to aphonia due to vocal cord infiltration. [orpha.net]

Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis varies, with some patients dying within the first few days of life (severe neonatal form) and others living until adolescence or early adulthood (milder forms). [orpha.net]
Farber disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, has a dismal prognosis leading to death with progressive granulomatous inflammation, even in patients without central nervous system involvement (type 2/3). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Most children with Farber disease die by age 2, usually from lung disease. In one of the most severe forms of the disease, an enlarged liver and spleen ( hepatosplenomegaly ) can be diagnosed soon after birth. [ipfs.io]
Etiology
Etiology Farber disease is caused by mutations in the N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase ( ASAH1 ) gene (8p22) which encodes acid ceramidase, a lysosomal enzyme that hydrolyzes ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid. [orpha.net]
Their etiology is not precisely century with the first clinical recognition of known, so we have included chapters that dis symptoms and patterns for diagnosis of car cuss many aspects of congenital cardiac mal diovascular diseases. [books.google.com]
(Etiology) Many enzymes exist within the lysosome (a cell structure component), which are required to break down the body’s complex compounds. [dovemed.com]
