Abstract

It is clearly apparent that rare diseases are not so rare as we seldom think of them. This is a consequence of the inherited belief that most rare diseases have a grave prognosis, as well the objective difficulties in diagnostic capacity and patient access to health care and treatment. Recent advances in medical technologies, laboratory testing, and pharmacology that have led to the development of new treatment modalities, also pose a challenge to the medical community in better-taking care of these patients. Fabry disease is a typical rare disease deserving medical community attention, presumably due to better diagnosis and utilization of novel treatment modalities in the form of the enzyme replacement therapy.
