Abstract "This book is the fruit of an ambitious project which aims to review both the scientific and the clinical aspects of lysosomal storage disorders. We perceive a need for an accessible volume giving an up to date overview of the subject. Even when effective treatments are available, there remains an urgent need to highlight awareness of the diseases so that early and appropriate treatment may be sought [7]. Furthermore, in a rapidly changing world, there is a real need to improve access to expensive treatments. The first section of the book reviews current understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of lysosomal storage disorders and we again to attempt to classify the conditions. The second part of the book reviews individual diseases, and gives perspectives from patients and experts looking towards future therapeutic directions. The book is aimed at a wide audience including scientists, clinicians, health care workers and administrators, those working in the pharmaceutical industry, patients and their organisations"-- Provided by publisher.
