Researchers characterize a biomarker for lysosomal storage disorders

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a common cause of neurodegenerative disease in young children.These diseases are difficult to diagnosis in the early stages; therefore, it is difficult to develop therapeutic strategies that prevent symptom onset. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Frances M. Platt and colleagues at the University of Oxford devised a method for evaluating the relative volume of acidic compartments as an indicator of LSDs.
