Why have I never heard of Lysosomal Disease?
Lysosomal Disease is not well known because each of the 50 disorders comprising Lysosomal Disease has its own set of symptoms, gene mutation, diagnosis, and treatment options. To date, these disorders, some extremely rare, have been treated separately rather than under the umbrella of Lysosomal Disease, resulting in a decreased awareness of this class of disorders as a whole. As a whole, the family of lysosomal disorders has been hidden from our view.
