Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of monogenic metabolic disorders associated with the dysfunction of lysosomal apparatus. Virtually every cell in the body possesses lysosomes, yet storage in these organelles can vary even among various cells. The clinical phenotype is quite heterogeneous, affecting multiple organs and systems, reflecting also the complexity of their pathomechanism. Even though our knowledge of LSD has increased, and many therapies have been established, many aspects of their presentation remain ambiguous.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of clinical presentation, diagnostics and treatment, focusing on specific body organs and systems.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Liver in LSD;
Cardiac involvement in LSD;
Skeletal complications in LSD;
Respiratory system involvement in LSD;
Central and peripheral nervous systems abnormalities in LSD;
Biomarkers in LSD diagnostics;
Genetics, inheritance, founder effects and genotype-phenotype correlation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
