Fabry disease (FD) is a rare, X-linked, lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in α-galactosidase A (α-GAL A) enzyme, encoded by the GLA gene and is an underdiagnosed cause of stroke in young adults . Ischemic stroke in young people is often cryptogenic. In FD stroke can be the first manifestation. An early diagnosis of FD allows an early treatment that is important in preventing cerebrovascular events and multi-organ involvement.
