How To Treat Fabry's Disease

Fabry's disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects every one in forty thousand males and some females. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. Multiple regions of the body can be affected by Fabry's disease, and symptoms range from ringing in the ears and hearing loss to a burning sensation covering the skin, gastrointestinal problems, and major organ complications. Patients with Fabry's disease have a life expectancy of fifty-eight years in males and seventy-five in females, though the disease is far more prevalent in men than women.
