Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs; {{IPAc-en|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.{{Cite journal |last=Platt |first=Frances M. |last2=d'Azzo |first2=Alessandra |last3=Davidson |first3=Beverly L. |last4=Neufeld |first4=Elizabeth F. |last5=Tifft |first5=Cynthia J. |date=2018-10-01 |title=Lysosomal storage diseases |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41572-018-0025-4 |journal=Nature Reviews Disease Primers |language=en |volume=4 |issue=1 |page=27 |doi=10.1038/s41572-018-0025-4 |issn=2056-676X |pmid=30275469 |s2cid=52896843}}{{Cite journal |vauthors=Winchester B, Vellodi A, Young E |year=2000 |title=The molecular basis of lysosomal storage diseases and their treatment |journal=Biochem.

This process requires several critical enzymes. If one of these enzymes is defective due to a mutation, the large molecules accumulate within the cell, eventually killing it.{{Cite book |last=Reece, Jane |url=https://archive.org/details/biologyc00camp/page/121 |title=Biology |last2=Campbell, Neil |publisher=Benjamin Cummings |year=2002 |isbn=0-8053-6624-5 |location=San Francisco |pages=[https://archive.org/details/biologyc00camp/page/121 121–122] |url-access=registration}}

Lysosomal storage disorders are caused by lysosomal dysfunction usually as a consequence of deficiency of a single enzyme required for the metabolism of lipids, glycoproteins (sugar-containing proteins), or mucopolysaccharides. Individually, lysosomal storage diseases occur with incidences of less than 1:100,000; however, as a group, the incidence is about 1:5,000 – 1:10,000.{{Cite journal |last=Meikle |first=P.

The lysosome is commonly referred to as the cell's recycling center because it processes unwanted material into substances that the cell can use. Lysosomes break down this unwanted matter by enzymes, highly specialized proteins essential for survival. Lysosomal disorders are usually triggered when a particular enzyme exists in too small an amount or is missing altogether. When this happens, substances accumulate in the cell. In other words, when the lysosome does not function normally, excess products destined for breakdown and recycling are stored in the cell.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

Like other genetic disorders, individuals inherit lysosomal storage diseases from their parents. Although each disorder results from different gene mutations that translate into a deficiency in enzyme activity, they all share a common biochemical characteristic – all lysosomal disorders originate from an abnormal accumulation of substances inside the lysosome.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

Lysosomal storage diseases affect mostly children and they often die at a young age, many within a few months or years of birth.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

Classification

=Standard classification=

The lysosomal storage diseases are generally classified by the nature of the primary stored material involved, and can be broadly broken into the following: (ICD-10 codes are provided where available){{cn|date=October 2024}}

Also, glycogen storage disease type II (Pompe disease) is a defect in lysosomal metabolism as well,[http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1182830-overview eMedicine Specialties > Neurology > Pediatric Neurology > Lysosomal Storage Disease] Author: Noah S Scheinfeld, MD, JD, FAAD. Coauthor(s): Rowena Emilia Tabamo, MD; Brian Klein, MD. Updated: Sep 25, 2008 although it is otherwise classified into E74.0 in ICD-10. Cystinosis is an lysosomal storage disease characterized by the abnormal accumulation of the amino acid cystine.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

=By type of defect protein=

Alternatively to the protein targets, lysosomal storage diseases may be classified by the type of protein that is deficient and is causing buildup.

Signs and symptoms

The symptoms of lysosomal storage diseases vary depending on the particular disorder and other variables such as the age of onset, and can be mild to severe. They can include developmental delay, movement disorders, seizures, dementia, deafness, and/or blindness. Some people with lysosomal storage diseases have enlarged livers or spleens, pulmonary and cardiac problems, and bones that grow abnormally.{{Cite journal |last=Navarrete-Martínez |first=Juana Inés |last2=Limón-Rojas |first2=Ana Elena |last3=Gaytán-García |first3=Maria de Jesús |last4=Reyna-Figueroa |first4=Jesús |last5=Wakida-Kusunoki |first5=Guillermo |last6=Delgado-Calvillo |first6=Ma. del Rocío |last7=Cantú-Reyna |first7=Consuelo |last8=Cruz-Camino |first8=Héctor |last9=Cervantes-Barragán |first9=David Eduardo |date=May 2017 |title=Newborn screening for six lysosomal storage disorders in a cohort of Mexican patients: Three-year findings from a screening program in a closed Mexican health system |journal=Molecular Genetics and Metabolism |volume=121 |issue=1 |pages=16–21 |doi=10.1016/j.ymgme.2017.03.001 |pmid=28302345}}

Diagnosis

The majority of patients are initially screened by enzyme assay, which is the most efficient method to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. In some families where the disease-causing mutations are known, and in certain genetic isolates, mutation analysis may be performed. In addition, after a diagnosis is made by biochemical means, mutation analysis may be performed for certain disorders.{{cn|date=July 2021}}

Treatment

No cures for lysosomal storage diseases are known, and treatment is mostly symptomatic, although bone marrow transplantation and enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) have been tried with some success.{{Cite journal |vauthors=Clarke JT, Iwanochko RM |year=2005 |title=Enzyme replacement therapy of Fabry disease |journal=Mol.

In addition, substrate reduction therapy, a method used to decrease the production of storage material, is currently being evaluated for some of these diseases. Furthermore, chaperone therapy, a technique used to stabilize the defective enzymes produced by patients, is being examined for certain of these disorders. The experimental technique of gene therapy may offer cures in the future.{{Cite journal |last=Nagree |first=Murtaza S. |last2=Scalia |first2=Simone |last3=McKillop |first3=William M. |last4=Medin |first4=Jeffrey A. |date=2019-07-03 |title=An update on gene therapy for lysosomal storage disorders |url=https://doi.org/10.1080/14712598.2019.1607837 |journal=Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy |volume=19 |issue=7 |pages=655–670 |doi=10.1080/14712598.2019.1607837 |issn=1471-2598 |pmid=31056978 |s2cid=145822883}}{{Cite journal |vauthors=Ponder KP, Haskins ME |year=2007 |title=Gene therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis |journal=Expert Opin Biol Ther |volume=7 |issue=9 |pages=1333–1345 |doi=10.1517/14712598.7.9.1333 |pmc=3340574 |pmid=17727324}}

History

Tay–Sachs disease was the first of these disorders to be described, in 1881, followed by Gaucher disease in 1882. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, de Duve and colleagues, using cell fractionation techniques, cytological studies, and biochemical analyses, identified and characterized the lysosome as a cellular organelle responsible for intracellular digestion and recycling of macromolecules. This was the scientific breakthrough that would lead to the understanding of the physiological basis of the lysosomal storage diseases. Pompe disease was the first disease to be identified as an lysosomal storage disease in 1963, with L. Hers reporting the cause as a deficiency of α-glucosidase. Hers also suggested that other diseases, such as the mucopolysaccharidosis, might be due to enzyme deficiencies.{{cn|date=July 2021}}
