Sphingolipidoses refer to a group of inherited metabolic disorders that are caused by the accumulation of sphingolipids in the body's cells.
Sphingolipidoses can affect many different organs and tissues in the body, including the brain, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. The severity of the symptoms and the age of onset can vary widely depending on the specific type of sphingolipidosis and the level of enzyme deficiency.
Some common types of sphingolipidoses include Gaucher disease, Niemann-Pick disease, Fabry disease, and Tay-Sachs disease.
Any form of Sphingolipidoses qualifies for MMJ, which can help with many symptoms, such as pain, spasticity, nausea, and anxiety.
