Definition
English
:
A group of inherited metabolic disorders characterized by the intralysosomal accumulation of
SPHINGOLIPIDS
primarily in the
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
and to a variable degree in the visceral organs. They are classified by the enzyme defect in the degradation pathway and the substrate accumulation (or storage). Clinical features vary in subtypes but neurodegeneration is a common sign.
