Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:

Fabry disease is caused by a deficient activity of alpha-galactosidase A (α-GalA) due to mutations in the X chromosome GLA gene. The enzymatic defect causes intracellular accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids, mainly globotriaosylceramide (GL-3), as well as increased circulating levels of globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso-GL-3).
