The last two decades have seen a huge expansion in research inthe area of lysosomal storage disorders, which has substantiallyextended our understanding of both the scientific and the clinicalbasis of these diseases. Lysosomal Storage Disorders: APractical Guide is the fruit of an ambitious project aiming toreview both the scientific and the clinical aspects of lysosomalstorage disorders, resulting in
this accessible volume, which gives an up-to-date overview of thesubject.
There is substantial scientific interest in these diseases: newadvances in small molecule therapy are likely to be useful in thenear future, and trials are already underway. Lysosomal storagedisorders offer a unique platform for teaching modern clinicalscience, from basic genetics through to clinical applications.
The first part of the book reviews and classifies our currentunderstanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of lysosomalstorage disorders. The second part of the book reviews individualdiseases, and gives perspectives from patients and experts lookingtowards future therapeutic directions.
Lysosomal Storage Disorders: A Practical Guide is theideal guide for a wide audience including scientists, clinicians,health care workers and administrators, those working in thepharmaceutical industry, patients and their organisations.
