Adults with lysosomal storage diseases in the undiagnosed diseases network.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To review the referral and clinical characteristics of adult patients diagnosed with lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) through the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN).

Methods

Retrospective review of both application and evaluation records for adults admitted to the UDN with a final diagnosis of a lysosomal storage disease.

Results

Ten patients were identified. Final diagnoses included late onset Tay Sachs, attenuated MPS I, MPS IIIA, MPS IIIB, and MPS IIIC. Most patients presented with neurocognitive changes. Prior to referral, all patients had been evaluated by neurology, four patients underwent phenotype specific panel testing that did not include the causative gene, and four patients had non-diagnostic clinical exome sequencing.
