Abstract
Fabry disease is a multisystemic X-linked lysosomal storage disorder, caused by the partial or complete deficiency of alphagalactosidase A activity. The storage of glycosphingolipids in the vascular endothelium and in various tissues can lead to a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Renal failure, cardiovascular disease, and strokes are the main causes of morbidity and mortality. Gastrointestinal symptoms, although common, are often under-reported in the literature. This review covers the gastroenterological aspects of Fabry disease.
