hereditary <\/a>metabolic disorders that affects the spleen, liver, and the brain. Like in the Gaucher disease, in this condition lipids buildup in the spleen, brain, and liver. This disorder comes in three forms, Type A, B, and C. Each form of this disease affects different organs. The different types of disorders display different symptoms but most of the symptoms are similar.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType A and B of the disorder occur when the body has a deficiency of the enzyme acid sphingomyelinase (ASM). This enzyme is responsible for metabolizing a fatty substance named sphingomyelin found in every cell of the body. When the enzyme is missing or in a small quantity, the lipid collects in the cells. This suffocates the cells and therefore compromising the normal functioning of the organ. The common symptoms of this condition include an enlarged spleen and liver, difficulty in moving limbs, jaundice, seizures, and loss of muscle tone.
