Stroke and Chronic Kidney Disease in Fabry Disease

Daisy Tapia et al. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis. 2021 Sep.

Abstract

Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the GLA gene leading to a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (α-Gal A). Multiple organ systems are implicated in Fabry disease, most severely the cardiac, kidney, and central nervous systems. In this brief review, we will focus on the kidney and central nervous system involvement.

Keywords: Chronic kidney disease; Chronic white matter hyperintensities; Fabry disease; Stroke.
