Pathogenesis: Fabry disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme α-galactosidase A. The enzyme deficiency results in accumulation of glycosphingolipids in the lysosomes n nearly all cell types and tissues leading to a multisystem disease. Manifestations include painful crisis, angiokeratomas, corneal dystrophy, and hypohydrosis. The severe renal, cerebrovascular, and cardiac involvement is predominantly responsible for premature mortality in Fabry… CONTINUE READING
