Fabry disease (/ˈfɑːbri/) (also known as Fabry’s disease Anderson-Fabry disease angiokeratoma corporis diffusum and alpha-galactosidase A deficiency) is a rare genetic lysosomal storage disease inherited in an X-linked manner. Fabry disease can cause a wide range of systemic symptoms. It is a form of sphingolipidosis as it involves dysfunctional metabolism of sphingolipids. The disease is named after one of its discoverers Johannes Fabry (June 1 1860 – June 29 1930).
