Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is a rare inherited X-linked disease, caused by mutations of the gene encoding the α-galactosidase A enzyme, that leads to a deficiency or absence of its activity with consequent accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3 ...

Pathologic substrate of gastropathy in Anderson-Fabry disease [PDF]
In both classic and late-onset AFD, mutations of the GLA gene cause deficient activity of the alpha-galactosidase enzyme resulting in intracellular accumulation of the undigested substrate.

An Unusual Case of Anderson-Fabry Disease: Case Report [PDF]
Angiokeratoma is a group of capillary malformations characterized by the formation of variably sized dark red hyperkeratotic papules. Initially, it was believed that angiokeratoma corporis diffusum was a telltale sign of Anderson-Fabry disease;

A Non-Invasive Technique to Unveil Renal Implications in Anderson–Fabry Disease [PDF]
Background: Anderson–Fabry disease (AFD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency of α-galactosidase A activity and the accumulation of glycosphingolipids in tissues, which leads to multiorgan damage.

The unlikely combination: Anderson–Fabry disease and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II in a pediatric patient [PDF]
Key Clinical Message Anderson‐Fabry disease, a rare X‐linked lysosomal disorder, and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) Type II, an autosomal recessive condition, both have distinct inheritance patterns.

Anderson–Fabry Disease: Red Flags for Early Diagnosis of Cardiac Involvement [PDF]
Anderson–Fabry disease (AFD) is a lysosome storage disorder resulting from an X-linked inheritance of a mutation in the galactosidase A (GLA) gene encoding for the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (α-GAL A).

A Meta-Analysis to Unveil the Diagnostic Gaps in Anderson-Fabry Disease in Women. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Anderson–Fabry disease (AFD) is an X‐linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene, leading to deficient α‐galactosidase A activity. Although historically considered a male disease, it is now recognized that heterozygous women can present with a wide range of symptoms. However, diagnosis in women remains challenging, as
