CLN2 disease (late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis) is an autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease that results from loss of function mutations in the gene, which encodes tripeptidyl peptidase 1. It affects the central nervous system (CNS) with progressive neurodegeneration and early death, typically at ages from 8 to 12 years. Twenty years ago, our phase I clinical trial treated subjects with CLN2 disease by a catheter-based CNS administration of an adeno-associated virus vector serotype 2 (AAV2) expressing the gene.

Megalin is a multiple-ligand receptor that contributes to protein reabsorption in the kidney. Recently, megalin was found to act as a novel endocytic receptor for prorenin. Internalization depended on the (pro)renin receptor.

Fabry disease (FD) belongs to the group of lysosomal storage diseases (LSD), which are characterised by insufficient activity of enzymes responsible for the intra-lysosomal breakdown of various substrates. The result is an uncontrolled accumulation of by-products of cellular metabolism. Lysosomal storage diseases are inherited diseases, transmitted mainly in an autosomal recessive fashion.

Hepatolenticular degeneration, also known as Wilson's disease, is a type of autosomal recessive genetic disorder of copper metabolism. The causative gene, ATP7B, is located on the long arm of chromosome 13 and encodes a P-type ATPase that is involved in copper transport. Pathogenic mutations in the ATP7B gene sequence lead to the diminished or lost function of the ATP7B protein, resulting in pathological copper deposition in organs such as the liver, brain, kidneys, and cornea.

Free sialic acid storage disorder (FSASD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by pathogenic SLC17A5 variants with variable disease severity. We performed a multidisciplinary evaluation of an adolescent female with suspected lysosomal storage disease and conducted comprehensive studies to uncover the molecular etiology. The proband exhibited intellectual disability, a storage disease gestalt, and mildly elevated urine free sialic acid levels.
