Prevalence of Fabry Disease in Patients with Cryptogenic Stroke: A Prospective Study
Lancet 366:1794-1796,1754, Rolfs,A.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We have shown a high frequency of Fabry disease in a cohort of patients with cryptogenic stroke, which corresponds to about 1.2% in young stroke patients. Fabry disease must be considered in all cases of unexplained stroke in young patients, especially in those with the combination of infarction in the vertebrobasilar artery system and proteinuria.
