Causes of fabrys disease
Children inherit a mutation (change) in the galactosidase alpha (GLA) gene on the X chromosome from a parent. The GLA gene produces the alpha-GAL enzyme that helps break down fatty substances (sphingolipids). People who inherit a defective GLA gene don’t produce enough alpha-GAL enzyme. As a result, fatty substances build up in blood vessels.
