    Fabry disease affects both children and adults. It is an inherited rare genetic disorder, passed on from a parent with a genetic mutation, linked to the X chromosome. Fabry disease is a progressive condition where symptoms will worsen over time. In children, the early signs and symptoms of Fabry disease can be mistaken for other disorders or explained as “growing pains” which in turn can lead to misdiagnosis.
