Lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]
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]
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

Changes in glycosphingolipid levels in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of individuals with Lysosomal Free Sialic Acid Storage Disorder [PDF]
Lysosomal free sialic acid storage disorder (FSASD) is a rare, multisystem disease caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in SLC17A5, encoding the lysosomal transmembrane sialic acid exporter, sialin.

Lysosomal Storage Disorders and Malignancy [PDF]
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.

Mutations in glucocerebrosidase cause the lysosomal storage disorder Gaucher’s disease and are the most common risk factor for Parkinson’s disease. Therapies to restore the enzyme’s function in the brain hold great promise for treating the neurological ...

Haematopoietic development and immunological function in the absence of cathepsin D [PDF]
Background: Cathepsin D is a well-characterized aspartic protease expressed ubiquitously in lysosomes. Cathepsin D deficiency is associated with a spectrum of pathologies leading ultimately to death.

Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB [MPS IIIB]) is a lysosomal storage disorder primarily affecting the brain that is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme α-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU), leading to intralysosomal accumulation ...

A block of autophagy in lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]
Most lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are caused by deficiencies of lysosomal hydrolases. While LSDs were among the first inherited diseases for which the underlying biochemical defects were identified, the mechanisms from enzyme deficiency to cell death are poorly understood.
