Now live - our review of neurodegeneration in lysosomal storage disease - comparing and contrasting disease mechanisms; emerging evidence of unifying convergence
onlinelibrary.wiley.com
There are currently at least 70 characterised lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) resultant from inherited single-gene defects. Of these, at least 30 present with central nervous system (CNS) neurodeg...
