Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease secondary to deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A with resulting glycolipid accumulation, particularly globotriaosylceramide in arterial smooth muscle and endothelial cells. A systemic vasculopathy, including early-onset stroke, is prevalent without a clear pathogenesis.
