Fabry's disease in a heterozygous woman.

Fabry's disease is a rare, X-linked disorder of glycolipid metabolism that is usually recognized in men in the third and fourth decades of life. A heterozygous state in women has been documented, but reports about women who are affected are confined to isolated case reports and to rare small series. We report a case of a 42-year-old woman with persistent proteinuria who was found to have Fabry's disease.
