Fabry disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by GLA gene mutations that silently damage the heart, brain, and kidneys. If left untreated, men can lose 20-25 years and women 10-15 years of their lifespan. Early diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms mimic common illnesses like chronic pain or gastric issues. In Singapore, about 18 patients are treated at SGH, with subsidies covering up to 75% of costs. Medical experts like Dr. Kavya Narasimhalu emphasize awareness and prenatal genetic testing (IVF/PGT) to prevent the disease in future generations, highlighting that modern medicine now offers hope for previously incurable conditions.
