Abstract
- Fabry's disease is an X-linked hereditary disorder resulting in accumulation of a glycolipid (galactosylgalactosyl glucosylceramide) due to deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A. The diagnosis can be made by histopathologic examination of skin biopsy, low activity of alpha-galactosidase in leucocytes and genetic examination. Treatment is symptomatic. We want to stress the multidisciplinary collaboration necessary to deal with this condition, in order to prevent acceleration of symptoms.
