XXI. SCF LAYMAN’S SUMMARY
Fabry disease is a rare inherited disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme α-galactosidase A. Without this enzyme, fatty molecules called glycosphingolipids accumulate inside lysosomes throughout the body. Over time, this damages blood vessels, kidneys, nerves, heart, and brain. Common symptoms include burning pain in the hands and feet, kidney disease, heart enlargement, reduced sweating, and increased stroke risk. SCF interprets Fabry disease as a systems-level intracellular communication disorder involving lysosomal congestion, vascular dysfunction, mitochondrial stress, metabolic overload, and progressive loss of synchronized cellular homeostasis.
