Summary
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are classified as a subgroup of inherited metabolic disorders that consists of more than 50 distinctive conditions [1]. Common to all those disorders is a genetic defect in enzymes or of a lysosomal component, which leads to the accumulation of partially degraded or complete substrates within the lysosomes, thus corrupting cellular function and possibly causing cell death [2, 3]. Accumulation of metabolites is progressive and results in a deteriorated function of affected organs, with the central nervous system being one of the most common [4, 5].
