Fabry disease is a rare hereditary disorder caused by a faulty gene in the body. Approximately, 1 in 40,000 men and 1 in 20,000 women in the United States are affected by Fabry disease. Because the early symptoms of Fabry disease are very nonspecific, individuals affected by Fabry disease are often misdiagnosed with a variety of conditions ranging from heat stroke to multiple sclerosis. The longer the disease goes undiagnosed, the more damage it will do to the kidneys, heart and other organs.
