Lysosomal Storage Disorders: Recognizing and Addressing a Group of Rare Conditions

Video

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are rare, inherited diseases exhibited by a broad range of symptoms and disease severity, making them difficult to diagnose. Gaucher disease is one of the most common LSDs; others include Fabry disease, Niemann-Pick disease, and Pompe disease. Patients may go years without a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment, leading to a cycle of multiple misdirected referrals, unnecessary tests and procedures, delayed diagnosis and treatment, and disease progression. In this activity, 2 LSD experts discuss disease identification, diagnostic testing, and therapeutic strategies currently available and under investigation.
