Lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]

Nature, 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

Identifying the genetic causes of phenotypically diagnosed Pakistani mucopolysaccharidoses patients by whole genome sequencing

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Background: Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of inherited metabolic diseases, which encompass more than 50 different subtypes of pathologies.

Impaired autophagy: The collateral damage of lysosomal storage disorders

EBioMedicine, 2021
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), which number over fifty, are monogenically inherited and caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins that are involved in lysosomal function.

Lysosomal storage diseases in the era of COVID-19: a report of an Egyptian case of alpha-fucosidosis and a summary of the lysosomal storage diseases-COVID-19 relationship

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2022
Background We present a case of alpha-fucosidosis, a lysosomal storage disorder, from Egypt. The report also includes a brief review of the COVID-19 and lysosomal storage diseases relationship.

Lysosomal Storage Disorders in the Newborn [PDF]

Pediatrics, 2009
Lysosomal storage disorders are rare inborn errors of metabolism, with a combined incidence of 1 in 1500 to 7000 live births. These relatively rare disorders are seldom considered when evaluating a sick newborn. A significant number of the >50 different lysosomal storage disorders, however, do manifest in the neonatal period and should be part ...

Lysosomal membrane integrity in fibroblasts derived from patients with Gaucher disease

Cell Structure and Function, 2023
Gaucher disease (GD) is a recessively inherited lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a deficiency of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GBA1). This deficiency results in the accumulation of its substrate, glucosylceramide (GlcCer), within lysosomes ...

Inhibition of the Niemann-Pick C1 protein is a conserved feature of multiple strains of pathogenic mycobacteria

Nature Communications, 2022
Lipids shed by pathogenic mycobacteria have been shown to inhibit NPC1, a lysosomal membrane protein deficient in most cases of a rate inherited lysosomal storage disorder Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC).

Lysosomal Storage Disorders and Malignancy [PDF]

Diseases, 2017
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are infrequent to rare conditions caused by mutations that lead to a disruption in the usual sequential degradation of macromolecules or their transit within the cell. Gaucher disease (GD), a lipidosis, is among the most common LSD, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 40,000 among the Caucasian, non-Jewish population.
