Lysosomal Storage Disease [PDF]
Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2009 We report a case of lysosomal storage disease diagnosed by lysosomal enzyme assay in a two year old boy with a history of gradual onset of weakness of body, poor vision, fl accid neck and spasticity in all four limbs with hyper-refl exia.

Pompe Disease: New Developments in an Old Lysosomal Storage Disorder
Biomolecules, 2020 Pompe disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type II, is caused by the lack or deficiency of a single enzyme, lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase, leading to severe cardiac and skeletal muscle myopathy due to progressive accumulation of glycogen ...

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2018 Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of over 70 diseases that are characterized by lysosomal dysfunction, most of which are inherited as autosomal recessive traits. These disorders are individually rare but collectively affect 1 in 5,000 live births. LSDs typically present in infancy and childhood, although adult-onset forms also occur.

Lysosomal Storage Diseases-Regulating Neurodegeneration [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2015 Autophagy is a complex pathway regulated by numerous signaling events that recycles macromolecules and can be perturbed in lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). The concept of LSDs, which are characterized by aberrant, excessive storage of cellular material in lysosomes, developed following the discovery of an enzyme deficiency as the cause of Pompe ...

Lysosomal storage diseases [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2021 Lysosomes play a pivotal role in cellular processes through an active interplay of enzymes, lysosomal membrane proteins, and cytosolic proteins. Lysosomal storage diseases are a group of inherited and acquired disorders.

Niemann Pick disease: a rare lysosomal storage disease
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal, 2023 Niemann Pick Disease (NPD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by lysosomal lipid storage. The disease is caused by deficiency of enzyme, acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) which leads to accumulation of sphingomyelin & other ...

Translational Science of Rare Diseases, 2016 Lysosomes are cytoplasmic organelles that contain a variety of different hydrolases. A genetic deficiency in the enzymatic activity of one of these hydrolases will lead to the accumulation of the material meant for lysosomal degradation. Examples include glycogen in the case of Pompe disease, glycosaminoglycans in the case of the mucopolysaccharidoses,

Lysosomes, Lysosomal Storage Diseases, and Inflammation [PDF]
Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2016 Lysosomes were originally described in the early 1950s by de Duve who was also the first to recognize the importance of these organelles in human disease. We know now that lysosomes are involved in numerous biological processes, and abnormalities in lysosomal function may result in a broad range of diseases. This review will briefly discuss the role of
