Prevalence of Fabry disease in male dialysis patients: Argentinean screening study

Background Fabry disease (FD) is an X‐linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by enzyme Alpha‐Galactosidase A (α‐Gal‐A) deficiency, due mutations in GLA gene. Progressive glycolipid accumulation leads to damage in kidney and other organs. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of Fabry disease in Argentinean male patients undergoing dialysis.
