Figure 1.

Genetic analysis showed the NM_000169.2:IVS6-10G>A (c.1000-10G>A) mutation consistent with the diagnosis of Fabry Disease

Figure 2.

Genetic analysis showed the NM_000169.2:c.937G>T (p.D313Y) (p.Asp313Tyr) mutation

Figure 3.

Genetic analysis revealed the NM_000169.2:c.941A>T (p.K314M) (p.Lys314Met) mutation
