Lipid storage diseases are a group of inherited metabolic disorders where lipids accumulate abnormally in cells and tissues due to deficiencies in lipid-metabolizing enzymes. This excess lipid storage can damage organs like the brain, liver, and spleen over time. The most common type is Gaucher disease, caused by a glucocerebrosidase enzyme deficiency leading to glucocerebroside accumulation in the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. Other types include Niemann-Pick disease, Fabry disease, and Tay-Sachs disease. While some forms can be treated through enzyme replacement therapy, most have no cure and treatment focuses on managing symptoms.
