Disorder 3: This metabolic disease is characterized by an abnormal build-up of various toxic materials in the body's cells, as a result of enzyme deficiencies. There are nearly 50 of these disorders altogether, and they may affect different parts of the body, including the skeleton, brain, skin, heart, and central nervous system. New disorders involving this organelle continue to be identified. Although the signs and symptoms vary from disease to disease in this group, symptoms occur in each case because of an enzyme deficiency that inhibits the ability of a certain organelle in each of the body's cells to perform their normal function, which is to break down complex components into simpler ones. When this process does not take place, the substrate begins to accumulate in the cells. That is why these diseases are called "storage diseases".
