(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given statement, “Impaired metabolism of glycolipids that causes mental deterioration” is common to most lysosomal storage diseases (M), true of a specific lysosomal storage disease (S), or not true of any lysosomal storage diseases (N).

Introduction: Accumulation of metabolites such as polysaccharides or lipids in the lysosomes causes lysosomal diseases. Deficiency of certain proteins, as well as enzymes, causes the accumulation of these metabolites. Defects in proteins essential for transportation of degradation products leads to accumulation of degraded products in the lysosomes. Most lysosomal storage diseases are fatal.

(b)
