Niemann-Pick Disease: An Underdiagnosed Lysosomal Storage Disorder [PDF]

open access: yesCase Reports in Genetics, 2019
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) collectively constitute a significant public health burden in developing countries. Commoner LSDs include Gaucher, Fabry, and Niemann-Pick disease (NPD), but many cases remain undiagnosed.

Pompe Disease: New Developments in an Old Lysosomal Storage Disorder [PDF]

open access: yesBiomolecules, 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 ...

SNX8 enables lysosome reformation and reverses lysosomal storage disorder [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs), which share common phenotypes, including enlarged lysosomes and defective lysosomal storage, are caused by mutations in lysosome-related genes.

The Continuous Challenge of Diagnosing patients with Fabry disease in Argentina [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2015
The lysosomal storage disorder Fabry disease (FD) is caused by pathogenic mutations in the α-galactosidase A gene, localized in X chromosome. Deficient enzymatic activity of the product of this gene, the lysosomal hydrolase α-galactosidase A, leads to ...

Impairment of chaperone‐mediated autophagy leads to selective lysosomal degradation defects in the lysosomal storage disease cystinosis

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2015
Metabolite accumulation in lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) results in impaired cell function and multi‐systemic disease. Although substrate reduction and lysosomal overload‐decreasing therapies can ameliorate disease progression, the significance of ...

A saposin deficiency model in Drosophila: Lysosomal storage, progressive neurodegeneration and sensory physiological decline [PDF]

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2017
Saposin deficiency is a childhood neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) that can cause premature death within three months of life.

Lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, 2005
SummaryAlthough the first description of a lysosomal storage disorder was that of Tay‐Sachs disease in 1881, the lysosome was not discovered until 1955, by Christian De Duve. The first demonstration by Hers in 1963 of a link between an enzyme deficiency and a storage disorder (Pompe's disease) paved the way for a series of seminal discoveries about the

Lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2016
Lysosomal storage disorders are characterized by the presence of nondegraded material in endosomal / lysosomal compartments. Any process that interferes with the lysosomal degradation or endosomal / lysosomal transport of molecules can give rise to storage. The cause may be genetic in nature or environmental, as is the case in drug-induced lipidoses or
