Overview

A reduced concentration of serum alpha-galactosidase A level or its activity is diagnostic of Fabry's disease. Other laboratory findings can vary due to organ involvement.

Laboratory Findings

Genetic Testing

  • Detection of GLA gene mutation (after recognition of dropped alpha-galactosidase A activity in male patients, first place after suspected in females).
