Welcome to the REPLAGAL® patient website.
Your clinical referral centre have provided you with access to this Takeda-developed website because they have prescribed REPLAGAL® for you as a treatment for Fabry disease.
Here you will find information about Fabry disease (including symptoms and key facts), support regarding your treatment with REPLAGAL®, and sources of further advice and information.
Fabry disease is an X-linked condition, which means that the gene responsible for causing Fabry disease is on the X chromosome:
- Women with Fabry disease have a 50% chance of passing the gene that causes the disease on to their sons and daughters
- Men with Fabry disease will pass the gene that causes the disease on to their daughters, but not their sons
I am number 17 is a campaign to help the voices of those with a rare disease be heard, brought to you by Takeda together with 13 patient groups for rare diseases from across the UK. The goal is to increase the understanding of what it is like to live with a rare disease such as Fabry disease, and to show that rare isn’t always that rare.
