This is a first-in-human study for the treatment of Fabry disease. Eligible patients will have an autologous stem cell transplantation using CD34+ cells that are transduced with the lentivirus vector containing the human alpha-gal A gene. The researchers of this study would like to see if the re-introduction of transduced cells will help increase the levels of alpha-gal A enzyme levels and to determine the safety and toxicity of autologous stem cell transplantation using CD34+ cells transduced with lentivirus vector containing the alpha-gal A gene. This study's objective is to determine the safety and toxicity of lentivirus alpha-gal A transduced CD34+ cells in adult males with Fabry disease.

Number of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Values and/or Adverse Events That Are Related to Treatment
Safety measurement will be based on all clinical and laboratory assessment post-baseline. The assessment will be the frequency of clinically notable abnormal vital signs and laboratory values, and the frequency of treatment-related adverse events.
