Wolman disease (WD) and cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) are lysosomal
storage diseases (LSDs) caused by a deficiency in lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) due
to mutations in the LIPA gene. This enzyme is critical to the proper degradation
of cholesterol in the lysosome. LAL function is completely lost in WD while some
residual activity remains in CESD. Both are rare diseases with an incidence rate
of less than 1/100,000 births for WD and approximate 2.5/100,000 births for CESD.
Clinical manifestation of WD includes hepatosplenomegaly, calcified adrenal
glands, severe malabsorption and a failure to thrive. As in CESD, histological
analysis of WD tissues reveals the accumulation of triglycerides (TGs) and
esterified cholesterol (EC) in cellular lysosomes. However, the clinical
presentation of CESD is less severe and more variable than WD. This review is to
provide an overview of the disease pathophysiology and the current state of
therapeutic development for both of WD and CESD. The review will also discuss the
application of patient derived iPSCs for further drug discovery.
