Fucosidosis is a lysosomal storage disease, resulting from a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-L-fucosidase.

In fact, early diagnosis and management of the symptoms with a multi-systemic supportive care approach can improve the quality of life and may also prolong the life of those patients diagnosed with fucosidosis.
