Lysosomal Storage Diseases are multisystemic disorders determined by genetic variants,
which affect the proteins involved in lysosomal function and cellular metabolism. Different
therapeutic approaches, which are based on the physiologic mechanisms that regulate
lysosomal function, have been proposed for these diseases. Currently, enzyme replacement
therapy, gene therapy, or small molecules have been approved or are under clinical
development to treat lysosomal storage disorders. The present article reviews the main …
