Emory's Lysosomal Storage Disease Center in Atlanta, Georgia provides diagnostic, evaluation, management, and treatment services for patients from all over the Southeastern United States. The lysosomal storage diseases (L*Ds) are a group of conditions in which certain substances or substrates build up in compartments of the body's cells called lysosomes. L*Ds are caused by missing or poorly functioning enzymes that are unable to perform their normal activities. Over time, excessive amounts of the substrates accumulate and cause damage to the involved systems and organs in thebody. In some cases, the diagnosis of a L*D is mistaken for another disorder.

Are you living with a genetic disease or the family member of someone living with a genetic disease? If so, we are interested in asking you a few questions through a brief SurveyMonkey survey.

Emory Genetics, Davalen, Inc., and the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) are developing a webpage/application called GeneThink that uses the power of IBM’s Watson supercomputer to do a better job of answering questions about genetic conditions than Google. In order to make this website useful, we're asking you to tell us about your questions related to genetics disease. All individuals who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 Amazon gift card. If you are interested in doing this survey, please click on the SurveyMonkey link below and complete the questions. Feel free to share with friends living with a genetic condition.
