Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked genetic lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme α-galactosidase A, that produces accumulation of globotriaosylceramide. There is a multisystemic involvement, including renal, cardiac, eye, and nervous system manifestations. Aim: To perform a descriptive analysis of the ophthalmological manifestations in Mexican patients with FD. Material and methods: We studied 13 patients with clinical and biochemical diagnostic of FD.
