Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs; / ˌ l aɪ s ə ˈ s oʊ m əl /) are a group of over 70 rare inherited metabolic disorders that result from defects in lysosomal function. [1] [2] Lysosomes are sacs of enzymes within cells that digest large molecules and pass the fragments on to other parts of the cell for recycling.
The mucopolysaccharidoses are part of the lysosomal storage disease family, a group of genetic disorders that result when the lysosome organelle in animal cells malfunctions. The lysosome can be thought of as the cell's recycling center because it processes unwanted material into other substances that the cell can utilize.
The classic characterization of the group of neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage disorders called the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) is through the progressive, permanent loss of motor and psychological ability with a severe intracellular accumulation of lipofuscins, [2] [3] with the United States and Northern European populations having slightly higher frequency with an occurrence of ...
Substrate reduction therapy offers an approach to treatment of certain metabolic disorders, especially glycogen storage diseases and lysosomal storage disorders. In a storage disorder, a critical failure in a metabolic pathway prevents cellular breakdown and disposal of some large molecule. If residual breakdown through other pathways is ...
Inborn errors of metabolism are often referred to as congenital metabolic diseases or inherited metabolic disorders. [2] Another term used to describe these disorders is "enzymopathies". This term was created following the study of biodynamic enzymology , a science based on the study of the enzymes and their products.

Pycnodysostosis (from Greek πυκνός (puknos) 'dense' dys- 'defective' and -ostosis 'condition of the bone' [1]) is a lysosomal storage disease of the bone caused by a mutation in the gene that codes the enzyme cathepsin K. [2] It is also known as PKND and PYCD. [3]
Fabry disease, also known as Anderson–Fabry disease, is a rare genetic disease that can affect many parts of the body, including the kidneys, heart, brain, and skin. [1] Fabry disease is one of a group of conditions known as lysosomal storage diseases .
