Combined Saposin Defiency is a very rare metabolic and genetic disorder that is caused by the mutation in a gene PSAP. This disease belongs to Lysosomal Storage Diseases(LSDs). Because of complete saposin deficiency, it can cause clinical features of 4 diseases(Gaucher’s Disease, Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, Farber’s Disease, Krabbe’s Disease) to be apparent.

Combined Saposin Deficiency
Other names	Prosaposin Defiency, Combined Sap Deficiency, PSAPD
PSAPD is inherited in a Autosomal Recessive fashion

Cause

PSAPD is caused by mutations in a PSAP gene, which is located on the long arm of chromosome 10 (10q22.1).
