Video Summary
Fabry disease is a rare, x-linked lysosomal storage disorder in which an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase A is deficient. This results in the accumulation of ceramide trihexoside in the cells, which causes health problems. People with Fabry disease present with burning pain in the hands and feet, and reduced sweating, and angiokeratomas which appear as hard bumps on the skin. People can also develop heart problems, stroke, and kidney failure.
