How can we help you?

   Fabry Disease is usually diagnosed later in adult life. Early diagnosis of Fabry disease allows for early intervention and thus improves quality of life and maybe life saving.

   We have the ability to test individuals in the U.S., who have a positive family history or have symptoms, confirmed by a physician. If the blood test is positive for Fabry disease, the program will assist the individual to find state-of-the-art treatment and care. We can facilitate testing worldwide.

   Our program has educational information available to the general public as well as to professionals across the United States.

   If you have concerns about Fabry disease, have a family history, or feel you may have it, please contact us. We will do our best to help address your concerns.
