Fabry disease

CardioVascular Genetics
Fabry disease is a rare, inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene, leading to deficient activity of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. This results in the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in various tissues, causing progressive multi-organ damage.
