This month in partnership with ⁠⁠ Fabry Support & Information Group ! This month, we are featuring Fabry disease. Fabry Disease is a rare X-linked disorder caused by a mutation in the gene encoding for the α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) enzyme, or GLA gene, which typically functions to produce a protein required for the breakdown of lipids in cells. Females tend to have a variable course of Fabry...
