There are over 50 diseases in the Lysosomal Disease family. There are no cures and very few therapies to lessen the severity of the symptoms any of these disorders.

You may have heard about some Lysosomal Disorders, like Tay-Sachs, Gaucher, or Niemann-Pick. But because the individual disorders are often rare, names like Batten, Fabry, Krabbe and Pompe probably seem foreign to you. Other names, like Mucopolysaccharidoses, Cystinosis, Mucolipidosis and Aspartylglycosaminuria are not only unfamiliar, but virtually unpronounceable as well.
