What are the symptoms of the lysosomal storage disease ?




-The types of bodily symptoms that arise in each disease vary depending on the type of waste material stored and the types of cells involved. For example, a LSD that affects cells in bone marrow and internal organs will cause very different symptoms from a disease that affects cells of the central nervous system. 

-The symptoms of lysosomal storage disease vary, from mild to severe hey can include developmental delay, movement disorders, 


seizures

dementia,

 deafness

and/or 

blindness.

 Some people with Lysosomal storage disease have enlarged livers (hepatomegaly) and enlarged spleens (splenomegaly), pulmonary and cardiac problems, and bones that grow abnormally.


In my blog i would be focussing on the disorder called galactosialidosis, which is an lysosomal storage disease.
