*'''Fabry's disease''' (also known as '''alpha-galactosidase A deficiency, ceramide trihexosidase deficiency, angiokeratoma corporis diffusum, Anderson Fabry disease)''' is an [[X-linked recessive]] inherited [[Lysosomal storage disease|lysosomal storage disorder.]]
*
*It occurs as a result of the body's inability to make an enzyme [[alpha-galactosidase A.]] This enzyme in-turn is responsible for breaking down a type of fat called [[Globotriaosylceramide 3-beta-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase|globotriaosylceramide]] (Gb3 or GL-3) into building blocks that are used by the cells of the body.
*
*The enzyme is encoded by the GLA gene located on the long arm of the X chromosome (q21-22).
*The abnormal accumulation of this fat typically in three main organ systems namely the brain, heart and kidney is responsible for the varied manifestations associated with the disease
*Fabry's disease affects an estimated 1 in 40,000 to 60,000 males. The rate of prevalence is more common in men than women , with the rate of prevalence in women rather undetermined.
*Milder, late-onset forms of the disorder are probably more common than the classic, severe form.

* Anderson - Fabry disease was first described at the end of the 19th century by two dermatologists, Johannes Fabry in Germany and William Anderson in England.
* In 1989 the origin of one of its many clinical names, "angiokeratoma corporis diffusum" was first identified by fabry as he described a clinical case of a13-year-old patient affected by nodular purpura and subsequent albuminuria. In that same year Anderson described the clinical case of a systemic disorder affecting a patient aged 39 with angiokeratomas, proteinuria, finger deformities, varicose veins and lymphedema. 
* The first ten years of the 20th century identified other similar cases.
* In the year 1912, Madden illustrated the clinical case of a young Egyptian patient with diffuse angiokeratomas followed in 1915 by Fabry who reproposed this condition as "Angiokeratoma corporis naeviforme".
* In 1947 Pompen speculated the origin of Anderson - Fabry disease as rather “familial” after the clinical case of two brothers dying of a similar disease was identified.
* Anderson - Fabry Disease is a multi-systemic disorder caused by the build-up inside lysosomes of globotriaosylceramide or Gb3,  the accumulated lipid material discovered in 1963 by Sweeley e Klionsky.In
* In 1964 the clinical features of the main two phenotypes of the disease, the classical form and the atypical variants were described.
* In the ‘70s the enzyme involved in the metabolism of Gb3 was found to be α-galactosidase A, whose functional deficit causes the disease. The enzyme is encoded by the GLA gene - described in 1974 - located in the long arm of the X chromosome (q21-22).
* In the mid-1990s the many efforts to replace the lacking enzyme were successful and further led to the enzymatic replacement therapy for Anderson - Fabry disease. [[Tay-Sachs disease#cite%20note-38|[1]]]
