National Task Force Multicentric Collaborative Study of the Clinical Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of Lysosomal Storage Disorders in India       The Department of Health Research and Indian Council of Medical Research have constituted a National Task Force to perform a multicentric collaborative study at different research institutes across the country. The goal is to establish a smooth network of referral and counselling facilities for affected families. Accurate data management is planned to understand the overall impact of lysosomal disorders on patients, families and the communities. Nine different centres conduct mutation screening for about 30 different lysosomal storage disorders. Interested physicians can contact the principal investigators directly for mutation analysis.
