Abstract

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked recessive inheritance lysosomal storage disorder due to mutations in the GLA gene leading to deficiency of lysosomal α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) and has a wide range of clinical presentations. Over 900 GLA gene mutations are currently known and of those most are thought not to be clinically significant, some with doubtful clinical significance, posing diagnostic and prognostic difficulties for the clinician.
