  • Publication number: 20240000768
    Abstract: A method for a treatment of individuals suffering from diseases associated with sulfatase deficiencies including lysosomal storage disease includes administering at least once a therapeutically effective amount of at least one retinoid. In particular, the compounds tazarotene and bexarotene have beneficial effects on these individuals. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising both active agents namely, tazarotene and bexarotene compounds, or similar compounds, provides for ready treatment of such individuals, and enhanced treatment is achieved with at least two active agents.
