What are Lysosomal Storage Disorders?

Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) are a group of rare, inherited metabolic conditions that result from defects in lysosomal function. Lysosomes are cellular organelles responsible for breaking down various biomolecules. When there is a defect in the enzymes or proteins associated with lysosomes, substrates accumulate, causing cellular dysfunction and clinical manifestations.
