-Identify the clinical signs and symptoms of Fabry disease, including early and late-onset presentations, to facilitate early diagnosis and management of the disease.
-Evaluate the available diagnostic tools and techniques for Fabry disease, including genetic testing, enzyme activity assays, and imaging studies, to effectively diagnose the disease and guide appropriate treatment decisions.
-Develop a multidisciplinary management plan for patients with Fabry disease, including enzyme replacement therapy, pain management, and preventive measures to address the multisystem involvement of the disease and improve patient outcomes. This should also include the management of complications such as renal failure, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.
